Day 7

A tough 11 miles up the spectacular Doethie Valley. Thank god no one knows about it - we didn't see a soul all day. I hope Tom Hutton doesn't tell the Trail readership about it.
Just arrived at the hostel, hasn't changed since we were here about 8 years ago! The yha sold it and Elenydd Wilderness Trust purchased it to save it for future generations. The wardens, a lovely retired couple from Dorset who's son belongs to the Trust, treated us very well... Like house guests in fact! A long way from the old days when you had to do a chore before you left.
Still no mobile signal so these posts will all hit at once.
The packs are bloody heavy but get lighter by a couple of pounds every day. We are going to be supermen when we get back.
We have a 14 mile day tomorrow, up to a wildcamp - more tomorrow.
