We have now been hiking longer than we have ever hiked before on a long distance walk. Our previous record was 56 days for the Bibbulman Track. How do we feel ?- fit, lean and hungry. A few aches and pains especially as we start to increase our daily distances to between 15-20 miles.
A typical day on the trail has us eating porridge for breakfast with a cup of tea and walking by 7.45am. We stop around 10.00am for a snack of nuts and m and ms. Then keep walking to around 1. Often we have a lunch at a shelter as it is usually a mid point, and other hikers often appear for a bit of a social lunch. We usually stop hiking around 5 then have a cup of 'cowboy' coffee - ground coffee boiled in the billy - and then some soup, rice and some tuna. usually in bed asleep by 8.00.
Does this sound boring?? There are many bits of excitement and changes to make every day different. Tonight we are staying at Woods Hole hostel near Pearisburg - a log cabin that was rediscovered in the woods by a researcher looking for elk, that had been built in the 1890s and abandoned.
