My Progress in Guernsey

LoL I lost 7 subs from posting about going on holiday to Guernsey… ok its not technical or development based but… ahh well anyway I am gonna post about it again now anyway.

So after day two I just walked 8.75 miles bringing the total upto 15.44 miles, after that my feet were sore so I went to dunk them in the pool but ended up doing 20 lengths and I haven’t gone swimming in about 14 years, I don’t live near the coast and being overweight could do without all the embarrassment and screaming kids of public pools. So I was amazed that I could swim just fine, its obviously one of those things like riding a bike that you just don’t forget. 

And with blisters on my toes already tomorrow is the harder part as its lots of narrow cliff paths and steep hills, so it may have to be less miles. I plan to get to at least jerbourg (another 7 miles) which will be a little short of half-way and with another 3 days to go after that to walk the other half of the island.

I guess the whole thing will be about 45/50 miles, so its a good thing I gave myself 7 days to do it in.

My route so far.
