Days 7-9 - Castle Mill to Buttington - 23.5 Miles

We are well underway now, with 70 Miles under our belts!
The walking has been quite good over the last few days, we are camping in Newcastle-On-Clun at Clun Valley Camping, and getting shuttled back to the campsite every day with a lot of help from Fiona's mother.
The thing which impresses us all the most is the variety of the environment on the path. We have walked along the dyke for the first time which was very exciting. We have gone through wooded forest and open plains.
A few highlights have been:
- Seeing a baby mole
- The kids being afraid of cows
- Racecourse common - dark and eerie
- Walking along the dyke
- Finding golf balls on the Llanymynech Golf Course
- Climbing to the top of Moelydd, with its amazing views
- Crossing the English/Welsh border multiple times

We have met a lot of people along the way who have been very generous, a big thank you to everybody who donated along the path, and for those logging onto Daisy's JustGiving page.
