AT 24 - 19th April (218.2)

 Best day yet. Had serve yourself breakfast, and I sure did. 600+ calories I’m sure. Went to get new glasses, one pair lost, one  pair broken, where’s Gill when I need her. I got the beautiful Baptists bus up to the trail. GAP was at the bus also, we’ve been crossing paths for quite a while. GAP= “God abundantly provides, God always protects, God answers prayers”.  There was a long climb back up-to 6000 but the breakfast worked wonders, didn’t feel it at all. There was some knife edge walking which was spectacular. It’s the best day yet. We are in pine trees so the sun wasn’t too hot. I’ve stoped coughing and my nose is clear, at last. I can smell the pine, not like the Tesco loo fresheners or even the Christmas tree, they heat in the sun and smells so good. 

Slug, Mama and Rock-n-Roll are in the shelter and a few more. 


I hiked in 2 bottles of wine. Well blackberry wine and peach cider. I decanted to plastic bottles!!! I shared, I promise. 


End of a great day. Feel at peace and relaxing into this crazy journey. 



These were the cold and wet girls.
