Sorry to repeat the same old stuff, but it really was lovely walking again, with distant views to the West as we worked our way up to the Beacon. Not as challenging a final ascent as we had feared, it was all rather gradual and pleasant.
First view of the Beacon, about 2 miles to go.
We met two blokes of about our age who were very friendly and who obviously did lots of walks together. One of them took loads of pics at the Beacon:
and these were probably the best. I think we both felt a bit emotional at this point, it feels like quite an achievement. 87 Ridgeway miles and 101 miles altogether in 8 days and we live to fight another day. We parted ways shortly after this, Tony to get a lift with Liz, me to walk back to Tring Station and a train to London.
Thanks Tony you have been a great companion for the past week, hope we'll do another one before too long.
