Day 1
Train to Kemble. Walked to source. Lovely day for a run. Paced things well. Had a couple of cafe stops. Stocked up in Cricklade. Bivvied outside of Swinford. 47miles.
Day 2
It had rained heavily overnight so everything was wet. Still raining in morning so set off early. Walked first part of day, ran more in the afternoon after the rain had stopped and I had repacked my bag. Arrived in accommodation in Reading at 9pm. 51miles.
Day 3
Set off feeling fresh(ish) with bag full of dry belongings. Long day with an increasing number of diversions. Pace slowing. Set up bivvy in field, which turned out to have cows in it, so moved one mile further along the path to a safe spot. 46miles.
Day 4
Didn't really sleep so set off at 3.30am with the intention of catching up on sleep throughout the day. Had a couple of trail shut-downs but no sleep. Running oomph had left me so I was focussed on fast(ish) walking. A frustrating number of diversions in place. Arrived at the Woolwich foot tunnel entrance at 8.05pm. 46miles.
It is a mostly beautiful path and I am pleased to have completed it. I ran/walked entirely on my own and was able to stock up on food and water at shops/cafes/pubs/public taps.
