I arrived at Chiping Campden, the official start of the Cotswold Way, yesterday. This place is beautiful. Utterly breath taking.

I’d like to describe it in detail but Wifi and cell signal is sparse, so I’m pecking this out  on my phone (which I managed to shatter yesterday) over breakfast.

Before jet lag caught up with me last night, I managed to visit three pubs and sat down to a nice Indian dinner.

I am minutes from starting the hike.  Flask is full, cigars at the ready. Belly butterflies bounce before boldly bounding Bathward.
