AT 123 - 29th July [457]


Thunder heading our way. 

Whistle Hill Shelter. 


17 miles to cover today with lots of little hard ups and downs. Stoped at farm shop for lunch, rhubarb and something crumble was amazing. Thunderstorm for the last 4 miles was fun. Right overhead and heavy rain, soaked to the skin. I had my first fall because the path was so slippery. Only ego hurt!!! Stripped off to nickers and washed under the roof runoff to get mud off. Then dried and clean cloths to get warm again. It stoped raining long enough to put up tent and went to bed early. 



Platform on top of shelter.
