We have rested longer than we thought we needed. My foot swelled up and I have pulled my peroneal and it has been rather sore. Rowan’s blisters were red raw and needed to heal. It was really good having home comforts again, surprisingly I did miss being out in the wilderness. It has also been fantastic having some time with my sister and niece. My foot isn’t 100% but it is time to move, we will take it easy and see how I go. Also had the opportunity to see my number one fan (Nana) for coffee.

We got a heap more supplies for food and first aid. For a few reasons we have elected to ditch a lot of toys. We are too unfit and this will make the journey a lot more pleasant. Also I don’t think my Aarn packs is designed for so much weight as I seem to be adjusting several times today.
