Am updating my website to include my recent West Highland and Great Glen Way walks and realised I hadn't finished my Cotswold Way walk on it, so have done so now. You can read about it here....

Walking during the heatwave, I wasn't enjoying it like I normally would and was really suffering and feeling unwell in the intense heat and just trying to get to the end each day and thinking about escape plans rather than enjoy the views, which is the main reason I do the walks.
The Cotswold Way for me was a nice walk and certainly very green but not as good as most of my previous walks (just my opinion) but it passed through some lovely villages along the way with their nice houses, churches and monuments as well as some nice scenery from the ridges.
