Days 10-13 - Buttington to Knighton - 27 Miles

Well, we have returned from the half term break and managed to clock up a total of 96 miles!
From Buttington to Knighton was hard work with lots of hills, but Daisy managed very well. Camping at Newcastle was fantastic. It was nice to come back to a hot shower at the end of a long day.
Climbing over the last hill to Knighton was a very rewarding experience, and it was great that we got to visit the Offas Dyke centre, allbeit very briefly. The weather was very good over the last few days, with a nice cool breeze when we reached the tops of the hills.

Now that half term break is over, we still have 81 miles to go, which we plan to complete over a few weekends. We have averaged around 7 miles a day so far, which is fantastic for Daisy.

We met few people along the trail, so thank you to all those who donated along the path.
Also, a special thanks to the owners of Clun Valley Camping for your generous contribution to Scope.
