I reached Chepstow again yesterday. Three long ish days of border walking and all very different. Mountain ridge and long wide views, which I wrote about a couple of days ago, then farmland, buttercups and little rivers to Monmouth, and then all along the Wye Valley to Chepstow. The photos are a highly decorated medieval rood beam in the church of St Cadoc, in Llangatock Lingoed; a field on the way to Monmouth; the verdant, abundant, ancient green of the Wye Valley, and the fast brown full river; and a high clear view of Tintern. And the miles are now made up. Arriving back in Chepstow the other way round was interesting - firstly seeing the view of the Bristol Channel again with the M48 bridge, and then being able to walk this time. Tomorrow I continue north again at mile 378 ... with some anxiety, but the leg/ankle/foot is less confusing and almost not in pain at all now. And maybe I'll regain some poeticness too....
