First four kms..

With the first four km done, the legs are warm and tingly.. Did some steep green hillsides.. But I know it was nothing compared to what the boys have done previously.

End of the first day

16 kms for Lilly and I on our first day. Nothing quite like poor old Morgan and Ages first day of steep climbing and 30 km...

But we are tired and footsore- no blisters thank goodness.

We passed through so many beautiful spots. I'll include some here, but think lush soft greenness, mossy old stonewalls, ancient oak forests and cobblebpaths.

I feel particularly inspired to have seen the ivy - which I hold sacred - profusely growing everywhere. With The Way , I am walking my own path, with new eyes, having left field influences forcing me to rethink... Well everything. 

I draw strength from seeing the ivy in thick patches, just when I am feeling a bit hopeless.

To be sure, you are not the same person once you have begun The Way.

Onward to more adventure!
