GW Day 1 – Knighton to Felindre (postponed)

The men from the met office hadn’t been optimistic but I left it to the last minute to make a decision. However, on the Friday morning I was meant to start the walk, it was still showing as thunder and lightning for the whole afternoon. I found myself thinking, not for the first time in my life, “what would Ray Mears do?” As the first day’s route would have meant me walking across exposed moorland at the height of the expected storm, I decided to err on the side of caution. Singing in a choir for the last ten years I always thought I’d make a good conductor but I didn’t want to find out like that. 

I have been offered a lift to Felindre on Saturday morning to start the walk at stage 2 so that’s what I will be doing! I will return later in the summer to complete this first leg…
