27km today. Short walk on road out of Huntly to start of a forest section. 1000 steps up and then up and down for 4 hours. Then 1200 steps down. I went another 7km towards Hamilton to be close enough to get to church. I’m tenting on a stealth site beside the river.

Thought for the day.
Burden
My pack felt really heavy today. Maybe because of the rest yesterday or something. I was thinking of the burdens we carry.
First the burden of sin. We carry sin and the effect of sin for years, before we find the solution. There is only one solution to sin and that is the cross of Jesus. He is the one that took our sins and died for them, so we can be released. In pilgrims progress there’s an image of pilgrim coming to the cross and his burden falling off.
Second the burdens we carry. Jesus said “my yoke is easy and my burden is light”. When we come to Jesus we can bring all our burdens to him. He sometimes takes them away. He sometimes carries them with us. He sometimes gives us the strength to carry them. He never leaves us alone.
