Walk number two was with a PROPER trek training group, and a whopping 17 miles over and across the Surrey Hills!
This one was fast paced, really steep in places, and very, very muddy. 80% of the day was spent walking in the rain (hello, frizzy hair!) but it was surprisingly enjoyable. There were lots of people there training for Mount Kilamanjaro and Everest Base Camp so we were all chatting along the way, and swapping stories.
I tried hard to take some pics for you lot, but it was tricky. We only stopped for 10 mins at the top of this hill, which was pretty much just enough time to scoff a sandwich (tuna, if you're interested)
Look at the sky! Eep!
We saw quite a few cyclists on the way round. They were also muddy.
My walking boots were so grubby after the walk, I had to change into my trainers before driving home. Look how splattered my leggings are!
Next in terms of training will be attempting two long-ish walks back-to-back. Now, just to find that free weekend...
SO, THE STATS;
MILES WALKED: 17
BLISTERS: 1 new (4 in total)
COWS SPOTTED: None
CYCLISTS DODGED: Approx 18
DAYS TO GO: 62!
