No mean feat: 130km Birthday Adventure Walk

TOP del.icio.us

We’ve walked the whole day and we’re not even in Mutare. The Inn on the Vumba hasn’t had power since 6am. I feel a bit like we’re doing a black out to black out national tour.

By 9pm Bev is lights out. Not that I can blame her. These days are long and hot and tiring.

This journey is hugely challenging. Taxing on the mind as well as the body. You have to think about something other than what you’re doing as you go. If you actually felt what your body was really feeling? You’d just stop dead.  But at the same time, I’m loving it. I find myself saying “I couldn’t be happier,” several times a day. And each time, I mean it.
