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 went camping with a friend so no talking in this one just some fantastic videography and music. I camped at Windmill hill and Edgehill. We did hear the sound of Cannon fire at night which was spooky.
From Windmill hill i will have a fantastic view of Battle of Edgehill where 500 Royalists will die and 500 Parliamentarians die on Sunday, 23 October 1642. Come with me on a Civil War wild camp. The haunting of Edgehill Battlefield is one of the most famous hauntings in the entire of The British Isles.
A area full of Puritans and witchcraft at the time.
The windmill sits on the 180m high Windmill Hill. Built in the early 18th century. The windmill still contains all its machinery. The mill operated until 1915 when it was struck by lightening.
From here back in time i would have seen Red Horse of Tysoe a hill figure cut into the red clay below the escarpment of Edgehill. The figure was first recorded in 1607. Various dates have been suggested for its creation, ranging from the Anglo-Saxon period to the 15th century. The horse may have been a monument to a victory won by the Anglo-Saxons dedicated to the war-god.
Many Tysoe people believed in witchcraft even in the early 20th century, & aged women were reluctant to use walking-sticks, as that was a sure sign - only to be expected, perhaps, in a village that got its name from Tiw, the heathen god of war.
