31km achieved today, the first morning start in the dark where we have felt any cold. Our hands were so cold we could not use them properly but then we were still in shorts and t-shirts. A lovely sunny day with a light wind which was just a joy not to be a puddle of sweat by 8am. Struck gold with the hostel tonight in Hontanas which is a bit bouji for a hostel, literally in the middle of nowhere. The small town sits within a river basin so you can't see it until you arrive. Three years ago today I was on my last day in Norway with the CPP from which I came home a changed person. All staff within the emergency services will experience and witness more trauma than anyone should have to. I am passionate that we give staff the awareness of the impact and then the skills to identify and respond to its effects.
Greg's update - Compeed blister plasters work! Lovely 20km walk alongside Nial from Dublin (ex-customs). Compulsory ice cold beer at his finish point before our last 11km push. Me and Em definitely feeling strong in the legs, it's just the aches everywhere else!
