Days 23, 24 & 25: Bristol Rest Days

A few days off and the foot is now mostly better. I’ve mainly been resting the last few days, but did get out a bit, including to a garden centre and to Cheltenham.

• Date: 12, 13, 14 April 2024
• Start: Wells
• End: Wells
• Miles: 0.0
• Total miles: 296.4
• Accommodation: Dan and Carys’ House

The timing of my days off worked well, as I was intending to rest in Bristol at my friends’ house, Dan and Carys, for a couple of days anyway. 

I haven’t done much the last few days, mainly lying on the sofa resting my foot. 

Annoyingly, the weather has been perfect for walking, with it being the warmest weekend of the year, it seemed that everyone was headed to the garden centre. 

Carys wanted to do some gardening, so off we went to the garden centre. My foot was very sore on Saturday so I borrowed some crutches to help me get around. 

We decided to make the most of the weather and headed to the pub in the afternoon, although it did take a bit of a turn and we ended up driving there. 

On Sunday, the foot was feeling much better. We headed to Cheltenham to go for lunch with some other friends, Sophie and Tom. After that, it was back to rest on the sofa for the rest of the day. 

It was my intention to return to Wells on Monday morning and restart my walk, but I’m taking another rest day as the foot isn’t quite ready to be walked on. More on that in the next blog post.
