Whilst the 6:30am alarm was much later than on a weekday, it still felt early enough for a Sunday, but with our second "team" walk ahead of us, which we wanted to complete in time for a Sunday lunch, we needed to leave home at 7:30am to get to our rendezvous point by 8:30.
All travel and pick up arrangements went went well, with the four of us we stood at what will be the start of the Trailwalker UK event by 9:00am.
Our walk took us from the start in the Queen Elizabeth Country Park to Cocking!
 |
| We started off in sunshine... |
 |
| ...although the clouds soon rolled in... |
 |
| ...we made good progress on the relatively easy first stage |
 |
| ...resisting the temptation of a seat in the sun, with wonderful views |
 |
| a closer view of South Harting |
 |
| ...it could have been any way |
 |
| ...but unfortunately it was up a very steep hill |
 |
| ...where the views from the top were (almost) worth the climb |
 |
| ...sheep (believe it or not) |
 |
| We needed our thermals...but I'm not sure this glider found many today! |
 |
| In the distance the sea... |
A distance of 20.3km which we completed in a time of 3 hours and 32 minutes, just over 18 hour pace for the full 100km!
With only a few blisters between us, and the team relatively intact we will undertake our third Training Walk in just 6 days time!
The link to the walk can be found in the right hand column.
