I started the day with itchy feet and ended with my whole legs being itchy...
The formal training has now begun, todays walk took me to:
Blackwood-Newbridge-Ebbw Vale-Tredegar-Oakdale-Blackwood
Such beautiful scenery until you realise you have to walk back through. suddenly heaven turns to hell...
I've never done this route before and as a result saw so many beautiful things, the old ruined factory in Crumlin must be the highlight.
I met two crazy people, one lady in her 30's walking her dog down by the Sirhowy river. She was campaigning to open the cycle path and talked to me as if it was actualy my decision. This lady told me NOT to follow the river toward home but take the road 
as it was a difficult roue.....So i took the river of course!
An hour later having crawled, scraped, screamed and begged for the end, I spot an old fisherman called Bill Williams. "My name is Bill Williams, it's a very Welsh name" Thank you for that information Bill.

Billy Boy pointed the way home and went about slinging his poor worm up the river.
8.30 pm and i'm an hour from home when my brother Ben calls, "mate do you want a lift?" of course I want a bloody lift, i've been walking for 9 hours and my legs look like something from the crucifixion. However I politely refused and tottered home
