Unfortunately, my blog comments for yesterday have disappeared into cyber space so I will have to rewrite a truncated version. Yesterday's walk was from Farnham to Guildford. We picked a slightly shorter destination (17km?) to give mikes feet a rest and also to try to miss some of the rain. As the walk was only about 4 hrs we delayed departure until about 1000 when the really heavy rain stopped. Walked for about 2 hours in light rain and stopped for a short lunch as it got heavy again. Then Wales on to Guildford in the dry. Went to the tourist office in Guildford to find accom and they were extremely helpful. Even found a B&B owner that would pick is up. Local pub that night for good food at £6 head and left my Camino cap in the pub!
Next day (wed) realised when packing that I had left my cap behind. Asked very helpful B&B owner if he could check pub later and he agreed and phoned later in the day to say he had put it in the post. Wonderful as the cap has already done 2 Caminos with me. Long walk today from about 0800 until 1700 with just a short stop for lunch. Was probably about 30kms. Intended to stop sooner but couldn't find somewhere to stay. Walked on heading for the bed sign on the map near junction 8 of the M25! Just before the junction found a hotel (bridge house hotel) with a twin room. Ended up booking it on booking.com in front of the receptionist as it was cheaper. Now sat in the room waiting to eat and drink again. Overall, it's going well. Accom is hard to find and it's difficult getting the washing dry!
