Highlight – The journey into town to get supplies; a short, fast and chilly road blast at 9am. Encountered about, say, thirty cars and only one got so close I could feel it. That’s a joy in anyone’s book.
Downside – Arriving at the shop front about thirty minutes later and finding the store didn’t open until 11am. The return journey was a bit of struggle as my backpack was stuffed full forcing me to use the rain cover to hold yet even more supplies, giving an all-in weight of about 20kg. Tough.
Upside – a nice fire crackling away when I returned. Lovely…
