Wotton-Under-Edge to Painswick 19 miles

Coughing and sneezing I washed,packed and went down for breakfast. Weatabix ,tea and toast were the order of the day. I decided to "man up" stock up on Lemsips and Vic vapour rub at the local store and hit the road. Getting out of Wotton is a hilly affair and the first two miles were tricky for a man with a blocked nose, but as the day went on my throat felt better and I was back in the groove of lo

ng distance walking again. This is one of the most beautiful parts of the Cotswolds as you get nearer to Painswick. Wonderful woodlands with great views to little valleys and mellow stone villages.  I descended from the hills across a Nature reserve into the splendid small town of Painswick. My B and B was excellent and after a long hot shower I meet up with my nephew Nick for a meal at the Falcon Inn. It was the perfect end to what had been a challenging day.
