Day 10 Epwell to Stow on the Wold

Epwell to Stow on the Wold

15 Miles

I have successfully navigated my way through the twilight zone of the Chipping Norton set and come out on the other side unscathed. Hopefully my mobile has not been bugged although I cannot be absolutely sure that any of the horses I passed in the fields were not the previous property of the Metropolitan Police.

It must be admitted that there are some very nice villages around Chipping Norton. All out of my humble price league of course, but very smart nonetheless.

It was a slower walking day. Two large lumps of hill had to be climbed and these took some time. The views from the top ridges though were really striking. While there were still plenty of bright yellow swathes of oilseed rape there were far more green fields on display than on previous days.

The big reward of the day came at the very end. Arriving at Stow on the Wold means that I am virtually halfway through the walk. 144 miles completed, 146 to go.
