A short entry for the time being to say that we are home - we'll do fuller update tomorrow when we begin our recovery. Do we need it - hell yes we do.
The closer we got to home, the more difficult it became to stop walking and find somewhere to sleep - the desire to get home was just too strong and we ended up walking 44 Km. The imperially inclined can do the maths and find that it is just over a standard marathon - with 13 Kg rucksucks of course.
"Do you think you can walk another 10Km or so, with that pain?"
"I can try".
We started at 9 am this morning and got home around 9:30 pm this evening. We are tired, in good spirits and our feet hurt. A few beers and a little wine has been consumed but now it is time for bed.
Thank you to you all for your support.

Welcome back both.
Well Done.
How about "Alright Now" by Free
Both appropriate.
Hey, hey hey, congratulations.
You have really outdone yourselves.
Hopefully you can last at least one week of "dolce far niente"
(without getting the "restless feet syndrom" ;-))))
In utter admiration

Well done gary and doris i cant belive you managed it
I am so happy you are home. And strangely a bit sad too. I think I have been living vacariously through you so..............what shall we do next?
Well done G&D,
I quite understand why you would want to push on: own bed and no more snoring to put up with, to mention just two.
Given that you haven't posted anything since, I presume that you both must still be in bed - stay there and polish the halo a bit more.
Well done again.
Dem.
Home already!
What an amazing achievement, not least that marathon walk on your final day. I do know what that feels like!
Love to you both,
Catherine (Stephen and Elliot)
