26th OCT. YEW FARM ,DOLLEY

26th OCT. The day was overcast on starting,  dry with the sun that almost warmed us. This time retracing the way back to Knighton gave us views and on arrival we popped onto the Offas Dyke Centre to gain more info than the guide book. We were pretty thirsty and had worked up a heat even though there was a fairly cold northerly wind.
Once educated about the Dyke we went to the market place and ate chips and in the sun then again into the Costcutter bakery for a refreshing cuppa.
J had failed before with the shopping and I wad determined to do a better job. I trawled the Spar and Costcuttonh stores and bought expensive crappy dehydrated soup and a jar of decent sauce for pasta.
On the way back out I noticed a petrol station with a store,  it was like a tardis,  like a maze going deep into a large supermarket. It was cheap and would of saved alot of hassle looking for ideal food for us. I grabbed a few bits then we walked on.
The route was refreshing,  I actually felt we were going forward and south.
We always have concerns over dogs, especially farm dogs. Today we were accosted by a three legged dog and another one who was all bark until I growled back and it sculked off with tail between leg.
The day ended at Yew Farm after Upper Dolley.The pregnant bulging bellied woman was accomadating allowing us to pitch on a dry flat field.
Pasta and sauce for supper.  Then good ol' Radio 4. We were snug in the tent eating two ginger cakes and a strong coffee.
