Someone did Dover to Cape Wrath. Wildwalkinguk. Com I think.
Found the link: https://wildwalkinguk.com/2020/06/28/dover-to-cape...With all the calories you must be burning, are you allowing yourself to eat anything and everything, or has your appetite shrunk?
Also, some of the LEJOG books and blogs I've read refer to people feeling very sad on their last day as they walk to JOG, knowing their adventure is coming to an end and normal life will soon resume. I can imagine that's true.

Pretty much eat and drink what I want. Having said that, particularly when camping I haven’t really had good food access nearby so end up having mainly sandwiches. My beer intake is up a lot so I’ll have to watch that when I’m finished. i4got said:
Just realised the canal path goes all the way through Wolverhampton today SW to NE. It it a safe walk or do I need to speak to a gang leader to negotiate safe passage? 
I’ve become accustomed to rural idylls over the last week or so.
I think much of that is fairly rural in character despite looking like it goes right through Wolverhampton. I’ve become accustomed to rural idylls over the last week or so. Jobbo said:

There’s a nice pub called the Mermaid at Wightwick but you’ve already passed that. Not been to the Anchor (I assume you’re referring to the pub in Coven) but Brewod is quite pleasant if you stay on the towpath a bit longer, and has a few pubs.
Cheers for that. The Anchor has a garden, Timmy Taylor Landlord and beef brisket sandwiches. I’m here for a while and the suns come out. i4got said:

Are you going up the canal towards Stafford tomorrow? There are pubs in Penkridge and the Moat House hotel at Acton Trussell has a nice bar, but all probably a bit early in the day. There’s a really nice Wimpy at Milford on the edge of Cannock Chase; you may laugh at the suggestion but it’s a little chalet which is in a pretty location.

Yes I’m heading to Great Haywood tomorrow. I had actually noticed the Wimpey on google maps. Good to have it recommended. Thinks there's a pub called Barley Mow but looks a bit further from the canal and the website looks a bit uninspiring. Are you going up the canal towards Stafford tomorrow?
