AT 5 - 31st March

 Great days walking. I went slower today to support Mike who was really struggling yesterday. He was hydrated and lack of food. Went up Blood mountain and at the top is the oldest shelter. Great views but a little misty. Walked all the way down to Neels gap. We were meant to be picked up by Tom who pulled out but he mixed the days up. We said Friday but he thought Thursday!!! He had hotel booked and all. Now what. We spent an hour looking for rooms and shuttle to hotel. We’re in Best Western for the night. I’m sharing with Scout. 2 for 1 room rate is worth it. 


I’m so looking forward to real food. 


The boots in the tree are from those who pulled out. Most people quit here.
