    Well, we are underway. Headed off at 7.15. Nice walk along headlands with views over to Isle of Man and west coast of Scotland.
    Pretty easy walking apart from one big climb. 24km which should have less after we hopped up from a rest and went the wrong way.
    Camping in a yard next to pub. 10 pound each with only a toilet which felt pretty steep.
    Weather is pretty good and looking like it might last, which would be amazing.
    I have managed to pack my long trousers in the wrong bag, so I'm hoping we don't find midge country.
    Met a guy on train yesterday who has walked most of walks in the UK. He has been recovering from a head injury and walking felt right.
    Another 24km and campground tomorrow night. There are not many walkers around so far.
