Well we went on our walk on Saturday last and it went really well. I enjoyed it a lot.

We walked from Teralba to Queens Wharf in Newcastle. Well, the boys walked that far. I bailed at Dixon Park due to the biggest blister I have ever seen. But we also went on a few.. ahem .. “detours”… which added up to about 3.5 km, so I walked enough to have made it all the way there I guess Llew also had a huge blister on the top of his toe (ouch).

I think I also ended up carrying the heaviest pack because Jeremy couldn’t get his hands on his proper pack at the last minute, hehe.

Anyway, we set a cracking pace and I could only just keep up with Jeremy – I couldn’t keep up near the end of the walk when the blisters on my feet started giving me some grief. So I won’t be going to Tassie this time around. I’m a bit disappointed at that, but I think I would be more put out if I flew all the way down there and then only walked a day then caved in, lol.

We’re talking about walking another day walk or an overnighter in a month or so, which will be awesome.

Jeremy has now flown down to Tassie as of Friday night so he is on his walk – I’m interested to hear whether they can keep the pace they have set for themselves, as I’m sure it will be grueling to keep it up.
