On this walk I was always ahead of schedule, so I knew that if I needed a longer break I could have one.

That's why I said I couldn't have guessed your worst day although clearly I knew there were several that were less than totally enjoyable!<br /><br />afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-14756022122575835722015-08-02T14:41:54.176+01:002015-08-02T14:41:54.176+01:00I suspect I've fallen into a psychological tra...I suspect I've fallen into a psychological trap here and knowing you had stopped at Luchon I conned myself into thinking you perhaps hadn't found it as enjoyable as you obviously did. Sorry about that. <br /><br />You could easily construe some of my own entries as 'not enjoying it', which at times may have been true, but there was an overwhelming satisfaction at having completed the route despite the setbacks and my own unintended efforts to make it harder by way of long days and walking when sick!<br /><br />I've just washed the tent.

The bits that I didn't enjoy (including the 3.5 hours of night time thunderstorm - definitely the low point of the trip) were truly tiny overall. The vast majority of what we did was both enjoyable and enjoyed...which is what makes our decision not to complete the walk right now even more difficult to explain. <br /><br /><br />Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-71992388541538236152015-08-02T14:02:37.867+01:002015-08-02T14:02:37.867+01:00It was a good walk and a good place to camp on the...It was a good walk and a good place to camp on the 'worst' day, Gibson, but because of my illness I found it totally exhausting, and the 'comfort' breaks weren't at all pleasant, nor were the 'going back to fetch something I left at the last comfort break' episodes exactly pleasant!<br /><br />The photos have now been downloaded via a Lumix camera, so many happy hours will now be spent editing them...Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-25037778333718347422015-08-02T13:07:14.412+01:002015-08-02T13:07:14.412+01:00Home sweet home Martin.
