OK, this is going to be a short one, because I’m still knackered and sore from the whole thing. Overall it went well, with good weather (I’m pretty pink right now!) and great organisation. The people on the trek (I’d estimate the number at a little over 100) were an excellent bunch, and I made a few new friends along the way.
I also acquired a couple of blisters, aching feet, knackered knees and ankles, and a dose of sunburn for those of you who are waiting for tales of pain. Saturday was a killer, with a 23-mile cross-country run leaving the camp full of walking wounded, myself included. The next event of this ilk that I attempt, I WILL make sure to be fitter (I say this every time!)…
Pix will be posted as soon as I can be bothered, and I’ll write in a little more detail about the walk itself. I’d have to say, though, that the Cotswolds, while lovely and very English, are not the most interesting place in the country to walk. After 23 miles of Constable paintings, it kinda loses its edge, y’know?
Anyway, more to come. If you haven’t donated yet, it’s not too late. And if you have, huge thanks – it made all the pain worthwhile… 🙂
Later! I’m off to soak my feet…
