I haven't been long up. Yesterday I headed up into the mountains with a 25kg pack and intending to stay up and top walk today. I'd checked all the mobile phone coverage and there should have been enough coverage for me to call Mrs S and ensure her I was OK.
Needless to say I left late, got up late 19:40 and whilst there was a visible signal, I couldn't connect no matter what I tried. Coffe, something to eat and I had to head back.
I arrived at the car park in Glen Doll at 23:15 having walked 15 miles, 2,000 feet up a mountain and back down again and was totally shattered. As it's a total mobile blackout zone I had to head down to Glen Clova hotel and use their landline.
Today I'm sore but my left knee and right foot are no worse than normal.
To add insult to injury I synced my GCC stepper last night and it refused to accept the 36,000 step entry it had recorded for the day and I had to write in a justification....
Today I need to do some light walking to get the lactic acid out of my system. Oh and free my right shoulder off. I think I've solved the question as to my physical strength and fitness. Now I need to work on getting the weight down.
Have a good rest of the day all.
