- Don't like to sound boring but sleep wasn’t good.
- Because the route looked complicated we drove a bit of it last night and was glad we did.
Today was not a good day - It rained for 24.7 of 25 miles, serious stuff blown in your face at 30mph
My feet were waterlogged within 3 miles!
The waterproof trousers failed again, I thought they failed last week because of the force of the sleet, but not so. Hence walked 23 miles with soaked underwear and not an insignificant amount of discomfort. - Found a tea shop and not even 2 x bacon rolls £1.20 and 7/10 could bring cheer to the day!!!!(Sorry Simon - it is temporary!)
- 1 mile from Hoddom Castle site the sun came out yippee!
- In the easiest walking conditions I dropped my foot into a pot hole in the kerb and went over on my knee. The knee seems fine but the right shin is extremely painful. Lets hope the 4 hourly gel and a rest day tomorrow will get me sorted for Thursday
- Got my laundry done so can just chill tomorrow.
- Thursday sees 400 miles passed and England reached - Phew!
- Good to Chat to Brad and Becki. Love to all of you.

Hi Steve
ReplyDeleteHope you've found a nice meal at the end of this "difficult" day (being polite - not sure who's reading this!) and hope you're leg improves with the rest day. Do you want me to source you some new waterproof trousers and get them sent up? Sounds like you could do with some. Get Lucy to phone me if you do.
Well done on reaching 400 miles - you're a star.
Julie and Rog
Julie, thank you for the very kind offer and for your cheery blog messages. Steve also says thanks but he did buy some new waterproofs to save more soggy pants.Maybe Murphys Law will mean it will not rain now (Ha Ha). He is walking today as the Border is beckoning and the leg is not so painful. Speak soon x
