Day 0 March 26th

Arrived in Boston with a long layover before flight to Atlanta.

I’m asking myself the question, “Am I mad”. Most of you are shouting at the screen “YES”.

What have I done. 

Who said this was a good idea. 

Why didn’t you say “Don’t do it Stephen“

No turning back now.

I had a 6 hour layover and with delayed it was 10 hours. Left Boston at 11:45pm and arrived at Atlanta at 1:45am. By the time I collected pack it was 2am.  Catherine collected me at door N1 and we drove to the start of the AT. It was 4am when we got there and she showed me around the buildings with a phone torch. She left and I merged my flight bag with my rucksack. At 5am I curled up on a picnic table and slept 2 hours. With a sleep at airport and on the flight and table I got about 5 hours sleep.
