The last climb of this section is now behind me and I can look back along the stretch of coast billed by many as the hardest of the whole of the SWCP.
Another view from the top of Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands. It's worth the climb to get the view. One of my mantras in life

Elstow, Bedfordshire is famous for its pious, dissident preacher and author John Bunyan who came from this village. His most famous work "The Pilgrim's Progress" has never been out of print. This was his local church and he rang the bells in the tower that stands alone and detached. His early influences were made here.
Countess Judith, niece of William the Conqueror, founded a Benedictine nunnery in Elstow in the year 1078. The Elstow nuns came from wealthy families and each came with an endowment of money and/or lands.
In 1538 Elstow Abbey was valued as being the eighth richest nunnery in England. On 26 August 1539, the Abbess was forced to surrender the Abbey, the manor of Elstow and all the Abbey's other lands and estates throughout England, to King Henry VIII, as part of his Dissolution of the Monasteries. Much was demolished and the Abbey would have been at least twice the size. The three windows and east wall were added around 1580.

Right, I said, "Conquer your fears" and blame no one if you think you were stacked on a centrifuge..

This is a resubmission which hopefully is an improvement on the previous scan having removed the grain and sharpened a little.

Paulo Coelho speaks of "personal legend." Jesus teaches on "light" conquering darkness. Maybe, what we are searching for is just "Around The Corner."
It is this huge tree that holds together some of the ruins at this plaza in the centre of Ta Prohm. Many temples of the Angkor complex near Siem Reap, Cambodia, are lacking sound statics. Where trees don't come as a help you'll find many walls, doors and windows heavily distorted. When there, make sure to read some of the description plates from the reconstruction teams explaining the statics of many buildings.

The early morning sun catching the slopes of Shutlingsloe from The Roaches.
We've had 0.5cm of snow overnight and it's caused chaos on the local transport. No trains, roads closed etc. Usual nonsense when we get snow in the UK.
Not here for complaining about our infrastructure, I'm here for the British tongue in cheek humour, specifically the names of the legion of gritters that hit the roads.
Some names I've heard this morning....

Probably one of the hardest hikes I have ever or will ever do.
Next time I will not take the off beaten path.
Actually later that day, a Dutch woman died when she fell off the same path we took.
Sad.
But I AM glad that I did it.
The powerade I had after was the most amazing thing I had ever drank.
