215 miles - all done

My walk continued following rivers and canals into cities and out of cities over mountains, across fields, past power stations, beside reservoirs, along roads (with tiny verges) to wonderful hotels, grotty hotels, charming B&Bs, vile B&Bs, a fun pub, a rough pub, my mother-in-law's house and finally a train home.

Best bits: Meeting Claudia in Manchester, Howden, Crossing the Pennines, Hull, Liverpool and finally the pretty seaside town of Southport.

Worst: The B&B with a bright turquoise bathroom suite and slightly stroppy landlady. Widnes (scarey place). Pubs being closed when desperate for a pit stop. My feet hurting after walking on pavements for too long. Horseflies - 3 bites and itching.

Am I glad to be home - YES.
