I am also looking for tips of places to see on my journey, of people to talk to about Wales, of good pubs and spots to fill up my water bottle, of fields that I can stick a tent up in and places I can grab a shower......anything that can help.

Well, it's now less than a month to go until I hit the trail and I am starting to feel that mixture of nervousness and excitement that always comes before a big challenge. I have a provisional schedule in place and am fortunate enough to have been able to reccy small sections of the route whilst working in the Black Mountains in July. A huge, huge, thank you to Reema, Lucy, Helen and my wonderful ...
