We were due to reach Castlemorton on the 27th, when William Reddaway was due back from Devon, so we chose to do two short days while we had Jez with us, to make it easier on Cognac and having Jez with us means that we have access to as much horse feed as we need.
We rode from Clifton- upon- teme to the Malverns and stayed at Sevenacres Riding School for the night, thank- you Janet Jones for having us at extremely short notice (we phoned her at lunch time!) We camped by the stables and overnight we shut the front gate and Cognac had had the roam of the yard overnight, with lots of grass to pick at. Janet had horses at Castlemorton for a while so helped me plot on my map the best route over, which was mostly off road. Three girls from the yard escorted us to the top of the hill, from there we rode along the top of the Malverns( the views stretched all the way to Wales) and back down the other side onto Castlemorton Common, from there we rode other to Sarah's house, where William Reddaway had arranged for Cognac to stay for the night (he had offered to put me up for two nights at his house as tomorrow day I was to ride from Castlemorton to a yard near to his)
