Another fair weather day, chilly but not bitter, except in the occasional wind. Very muddy, especially through the lovely wooded sections which made this one of my least favourite parts of the Cotswold Way so far. There were some longer ascent this week and I felt them! Not quite as bad as Alex I don't think, but this was a descent hill climbing day.
