Stunning. Proper distance too!
We’re currently day three on the South Downs Way and I’m regretting packing all-the-things in my oversized back pack.
I can’t admit my sister was right because I’m still getting mileage taking the piss out of the fact she ‘squared’ the ends of her fingers with an 🪓 last week 🤮. The plastic surgeon says she’ll be fine and can still stick two fingers up.

Did a 45 mile loop in Joshua Tree National Park in under 24 hrs this weekend, including having a five hour sleep, which I was pretty stoked about. I was a bit worried about water as the park is totally dry, so I cached 4 liters and had a carry capacity of 4.5 liters but in hindsight that could've been 3.5, probably. Also carried too much food in case of emergencies, so could've used a much smaller, lighter pack. Oh well! It was resplendent. It's been so dry for the last few years that the park was dead every time I visited. The recent rain in California meant everything was blooming and it was just fantastic. I went to bed at 8pmish and woke up at 1.30am. I couldn't get back to sleep so I did the return leg under moonlight only. Had so much type 2 fun.
