Old Winchester Hill to Cocking.

I might be a mere 7 days into this adventure, but I'm not sure I have feet any more, so much as tender slabs of meat that pound the earth in regular intervals. Or, in their current state, pound the chalky escarpment that continues to undulate towards the iconic coastal Sussex cliffs. I had been enjoying the company the past few days, but today I was back on my lonesome, and that means one thing; only kilometres for breakfast, miles for lunch, and astronomical units for dinner. Ok, that last one might be a bit dramatic, but until about 2 pm today, I'd only walked about 12 km, so it just goes to show that progress is never linear. And on that note, I'm probably overdue saying something a bit nonsensey and 'profound' so read this in your best Brian Cox staring-in-the-middle-distance voice. Some early lessons week one has taught me:
1) Don't try and be a hero.
2) Consistency is key.
3) Don't count the blisters.
4) You can't put a price on good people.
5) You are never, ever too good for anything, or anyone.
6) Take it one step at a time, literally. (One foot in front of a-Cocking-nother)もっと詳しく
