Day 6 Cotswold Way - (Final Day) Dyrham to Bath - 6th July 2018

Friday 6th July 2018

Benefiting from the extra miles we did yesterday, the walk today was easy going and straightforward. Rolling hills and gentle countryside plus the interesting Battle of Lansdown site were crossed before struggling to navigate across the city. Once we lost the Cotswold Way wooden signs, we seemed to struggle to follow what few modern signs existed - I think we probably took a few wrong turns and added a bit extra on (but I always get accused of that anyway !). After a walk through a park and 'Ice Creamgate', we made it to the Abbey and after all the photo's in the sun - the celebrations could begin.

Bath's a great place and we had a really good night out - Roll on next year !

Getting closer to Bath

We're here ! - but where is the actual end ?? 5 mins of walking round until a lady in the Abbey shop pointed us to the Limestone circle just in fron of the Abbey doors - Cue photos and Smog T-Shirts

Finally - here it is !

A happy bunch

"So - Where do you fancy going next year" ..................

Brian had recommended The Raven for our first drinks in Bath - Good call, our type of place and good beer, could have stayed there all day !

Cheers !

Nice tan lines

Bath was a lovely place - So good I think I'll bring my wife here next year on a 'non-walking' break

Having booked up a table for an Indian meal, when we tried to find it we realised it was in Poole in Dorset (not Bath !). So our estimate of "we will be with you in ten minutes" didn't really materialise. Congrats everyone.
