When I awoke Sunday morning, I still felt exhausted. My body didn’t want to respond to anything I wanted it to do. After a big breakfast, I headed to the supermarket and bought a couple of packets of energy tablets and hydralite tablets and chewed and drank all day. I would have had a second day off, but locked in with accommodation wouldn’t allow me to do this. A couple of pints late afternoon, watching the Wimbledon final between Sinner and Alcharaz and mixing with the locals was welcoming and rewarding, as was the traditional Sunday roast beef, all the trimmings,  and Yorkshire pudding.I only had to walk 100 metres back to my bnb, so that was also a bonus. I needed no rocking to get to sleep. I woke the next morning feeling more revitalised than I could have imagined. After mueseli, poached eggs on toast and sausage washed down with a cuppa, I was ready for some action. As I approached the front door,I could hear the rain. As I opened the front door, I could have been in a Queensland tropical storm. It was pelting rain, and I don’t have my poncho, so I went straight back up to my room and decided to wait a while. I rang Gayle for our second chat of the morning and then rang Ashleigh. I asked Willa for her advice and at almost two years of age, she made no comment. Her four year old brother Luca, was happy just saying hello as I was. By now its after nine, and the weather forecast was spot on by predicting rain to ease with strong winds. Also finally, very warm but not scorching like last week. I walked out for a second time feeling much happier, having talked to family and clouds/sun to walk with. For the first time, the first six kilometres were dead flat before the cliffs came back. After nine kms of rugged cliffs, and knowing the terrain was going to get much worse,  a possible one hour walk to my off route accommodation, I took advantage of being able to catch a bus, firstly for the final six kms and then after an hour wait, a bus up the mountain to my bnb. Do I feel bad for catching a bus part of the way?no, I didn’t want to end the day completely exhausted , knowing a longer walk tomorrow, and having to find my way to the starting gate.
