Day Three on the The Cambrian Way mountain trail 479 km (298 miles) with a total ascent of 22,460 m (73,700 ft). I think it could be Britain's hardest long distance trail. Its hard to say but looking at the map i think i started todays episode around the Mynydd Garnclochdy area i want give exact camping locations away. I was so wet from the rain all night i set about getting ready to walk around 4am just to keep warm. I was no risk at cold from the time of Year and in good health. So walked back up towards Mynydd Garnclochdy i think. The rain came back on top the hill. The rain was very bad so much so i could only see about couple of meters ahead what with the mist as well as the dark even with two powerful lights. By this time my cannon camera was destroyed by the weather i should know by now and my phone was useless take note people think phone navigation fine lucky i know this i used my garmin fenix3 gps watch with the track loaded onto so i knew i was heading in the general dir

I had what may have been a tick bite and with all the hysteria over Lyme Disease when it is low risk i have had my back covered in them in 2014 and just scratched them of and that was in a red deer area with long grass by a river in North East Scotland while on the End to End trail John o' groats to lands end. Again only a month or so ago i had a tick in the private parts only realised after it being there for few hours i would think managed to remove it in bits i did clean it well this time it did go a bit red but nothing to worry about. I still feel ok. I wounder how many people think they got Lyme Disease when its just a cold or normal pains and i guess they do a blood test i no idea? Because seems a alarming amount of people seem catch Lyme Disease and i have not and i spend alot time in tick areas i even had a tick in the tent i was so tired could even be bothered to remove it from the tent lol. I even spoke people who know people who died from it so for some its serious at least. I spent most my life outside and never once worried about Lyme Disease. Now anyone who has got it or thinks they have it i feel for them and i should say if you do start feeling ill after being bit by one do not mess about get it sorted. But its not some thing i worry about 30+ years in deer areas and tick bites i am fine.
Spent the night wild camping on the English Welsh border which is next to The End to End trail (John o' groats to Lands end) , Offa's Dyke path and Beacons way trails. Lucky for me the exaggerated weather report put of to many people up on the the Beacons and the forecast lighting never happened. I had a great night sleep. I set of in the Morning after the Coffee and food drill. I made my way along the Welsh English Border for a bit then headed away from the border down to Llanthony Priory. I had a look at Llanthony Priory.
Llanthony Priory dates back to around the year 1100. In 1118, a group of around 40 monks from England founded there a priory of Canons Regular, the first in Wales. In 1135, after persistent attacks from the local Welsh population, the monks retreated to Gloucester.
From Llanthony Priory i headed up cwm bwchel on Beacons way to Bal bach. From Bal bach i headed again along Beacons way to Garn Wen cairn. I wanted to camp here but no wind shelter and possible winds of 50mph and i had my ultralight Vango Vango F10 Helium UL Tent which not going handle that kind of wind so i headed some way down to a dry stone wall and some lovely old small trees a very nice camping spot with great wind protection
Nothing i say is 100% fact. It is my Opinion freedom of thought. You can disagree with me or agree we are not robots. I am not god :)
