Itinerary description

Not a GPS recording. Drawn manually on a satellite map. I walked this on 2018-03-22. This is part of a walk from Wuhan(A) to Kaifeng(Y) and the Yellow River(Z). Search Wikiloc for "18Xina" and "19Xina" (etc.?) for my China walks.

I took photos with my mobile phone, but due to technical weakness of that old device, I couldn't use GPS on my 2018 walk.
Info from photo time stamps (and my personal memory of locations):
06h50(0.7km) walking, turn left off main road; 07h00 lake shore; 07h15(2.7km) turn right, leaving lake shore, at a brown sign "hueiwuhan"回武汉"; 08h05 lake shore at small dams. I had planned to continue a bit longer at the lake and enter into road S018 later, but I had turned right too early(6.2km); 08h20(7.2km) entering road S108, at a place with a 酒店 hotel 住宿 accommodation. The next 40 minutes I take 6 photos of busses on the S108. This was the first province road on my planning and I was afraid that vehicle traffic would be awful for walkers. It wasn't. As my feet were not OK and I had lost confidence in my orientation skills, I took the shortest route along the S108, not the probably nicer but longer route from my planning. 09h11(10.9km) stay on straight road, not on larger left branch; 09h32(12.2km) river bridge; 09h34 several shops with 住宿 accommodation signs - I pointed to one and the owner made an affirmative gesture; 09h55...09h10 late breakfast; 10h15 walking; 10h21 place name sign Ba Jiao Men Cun; 10h45(14.8km?)flags and flowers at "Mulan Flower Township Holiday Resort"; 10h55 km-stone "85"(S108); 11h00 place name sign Dutang Cun; 11h35 km-stone "88"; 12h30 place name sign Cun Yao Shi; 13h00(23.2km) bifuraction sign Da Wu / Hong An, stay right; 13h35(25.1km) river bridge; 13h45(25.7km) arrival at 宾馆 hotel, you have to walk to 2rd or 3rd floor to find it. The 3 bed room (single use) with own bathroom was the worst I had on my 2018 hike. I had the feeling there were fleas in the bed closest to the door, so I changed to another bad. I got no bites.
