Brilliant 2 days in Demarcus. Lady Di’s hostel was lovely. Breakfast was amazing. Left after breakfast and the rain had stopped. As usual I oversupplied. Putting my backpack was awful. It like when you go back to the gym after Christmas and think nothing has changed. (Personally I talking about 20 years ago). You put 10kg extra on the leg push and knee bend machine. Your knees scream “forget this, the saunas is calling you”. “If you try this you’ll break your leg bones.” “Wouldn’t you prefer to relax in the swimming pool.” My food bag was 15lbs, I bought 5 days food. I also had the decanted red wine. I could hardly walk. I headed out of town and settled into the extra weight. Lots of climbing but very beautiful. I nearly swam but the path diverted from the river until I decided. Boot Lips (69) beat me to the shelter today. I gave Gandalf a hard boiled egg today, I told him it was a dragon egg. Most eggs in USA are white not brown. I know we have white eggs but most brown, in Tesco anyway.
I shared my wine and marshmallows so the bag will be lighter tomorrow but not by much.
I'm in awe of you. I struggle to carry the groceries from the car and do a half hr on the treadmill at the gym some days and I'm 20 years younger than you. Love following your daily updates. Your doing amazing. Eimear
