21 today - not just wishful thinking! 21 days to go. And the stiff westerly has become a stiff north-westerly. Yesterday was easier, but today half the miles were into the breeze. It always feels stronger on the coast. But two good days and ahead of plan - 35 miles yesterday and 46 miles today. If the next two days work out as planned, it will be over 250 miles in the week.
Today was just along the coast making use of the natural hills at the chines. So Sandbanks first and back to Hengistbury head. The Hungry Hiker cafe is a bit tempting but I managed to resist and settled for a Mars bar and about a litre of water instead of going in.
Then back to Sandbanks and back home with a couple of detours in Queen's Park. I think it included all the best hills this side of the chain ferry.
The baggage labels have arrived from Classic Tours with the final instructions. Seems it's not just a dream after all!
Yep, my labels arrived too yesterday. It's really happening! I'm going to be pretty busy for the next 10 days, with work and friends coming to stay, therefore I'm not sure how much training I'm going to get in. Can't let it slip though. You certainly seem to be giving it one last push. Good luck with the next day or so.
