Marbled White
This was my second of two consecutive days on the Cotswold Way - making up for my 17 days off. I've now covered 23.5 of the 102 miles or, as I'm walking it in both directions, 47 of the 204 miles. There are some steep sections on this stretch ensuring my knees were given a good workout. Belas Knap Long Barrow was a real treat to come across at the exit from a wooded stretch of the walk. It was created over 4500 years ago by our neolithic ancestors in which to bury their dead.
Butterflies were in abundance today - particularly Ringlets and the beautiful Marbled Whites feeding on thistles. They obliged me by staying put long enough to get some digicam pictures.
I was able to do my good deed for the day when I helped a couple of Danish hikers who were well and truly lost by showing them where they were actually located on their detailed OS map!
