Day 30 - 22 miles- to uttoxeter -it getting serious now

Day 30 - Stafford to Uttoxeter, about 22 miles. Started at 8.40am and finished at 18.30. Joined The Way for the millenium following river Sow and then on to the Staffordshire & Worcestershire canal - barges in abundance - all passing by. Also passed a few fishermen. Path led onto Staffordshire Way. Stopped for lunch in Colton. Had my favourite meal yet again - yorkshire pud, steamed or boiled vegetables, gravy and mint sauce - seemed to have managed that every Sunday so far! At about 1.5miles past Abbots Bromley I lost the trail which was rather annoying as I was surrounded by fields! Managed to find an alternative route out. Checked into the Oldroyd Guest House - £30. Feet a tad achy! xx

Hey Marisa - what a story!!!

-blistered feet...

Have just caught up on your news from the last few weeks (& last few miles!)

What an amazing adventure - I'm really proud of you. Hey, I make a fuss if I have to walk from the distant end of the carpark at Tescos.

I have been to a few of the places you have been to - I go to Monmouth every year on hols, I've also been to Crediton (Annie used to live there) and of course Glastonbury. It must have been amazin walking over the bridge into Wales. I hope they didnt bloody charge you to get in!

I look forward to hearing about your adventures & I agree with Les, its good to hear any anecdotes & stories too.

Its great to hear what you have been doing - you go girl!

Hey Marisa,

Sounds like you're having fun! I've just caught up with you're journey so far - 3 rest days is it? Not bad at all!

Hark at that Mandy moo - I remember she used to drive from hostel 2 to Redding ward when we were all students together! Bloody flattened now.

"Oooh, I remember when it was, err..all fields, or something.

Keep going girl! I'll be dropping in regularly to keep you company now that I know where you are!
