Thanks all.
Yes, @Philipflop I was self-sufficient apart from when I popped into the house at about 82 miles for a fresh pair of socks.
@andyp - Literally anywhere serving beer would have done. It felt like a really long way from my house to Andover, which was the next big milestone on my route (actually about 18 miles) and I was pretty tired and getting demoralised thinking I wasn't going to make it to 90 ATCF so why bother etc etc. Decided to actually check how far I had come (tracker site showed distance ATCF) and realised I had two hours to cover 10k ATCF. My route was pretty efficient so I figured I could probably walk it but would try to get there in time for last orders in the village pub in Longstock. Of course the pub was closed by 2330 when I arrrived in Longstock but it worked in tricking myself into continuing!
