The place we are staying for this phase of the walk lies in the shadow of the power station’s reddish cooling towers. Most of the people staying here are contractors working on the site. It’s a quite different atmosphere from the previous stopping points, where most people were caravanning for fun. It’s quite a relief not to have the admiring looks for a campervan we only hired. I guess the Bambi too would have been admired if it had been working….
