Sight itself had grown a harsh membrane
Against glare and particles

Ted Hughes, ‘Rain Charm for the Duchy’

I am sorry to tell you that after yesterday’s lovely but extremely hot walk, I have had to pause this journey for now. I got too much sun yesterday and I can’t carry the amount of water that I need to keep safe. The next three days are all forecast to be even hotter and I decided that it would be dangerous to tackle the mountains on my own. Exacerbated by the enormous blister that forces me to walk on tiptoe up hills!

I’ve come half way, so will pick up again when it’s cooler and my foot is sorted out. I’ll get yesterday’s blog finished when I have recovered! Perhaps on the train home.

That’s all for now, folks!
