See you where the sun sets
Well, its around 3am and I’m sitting here surrounded by new hiking gear in a very messy room, literally a couple of hours away from the Great Adventure. So much to pack and do still before I have to catch my bus up to Carlisle. From there me and Quiddity are walking from coast to coast along Hadrian’s Wall to Newcastle. It’ll take us about 5 days of walking and a day either side to get there and back.
We’ll be doing something like 20 miles a day. Ive been sort of preparing for this by doing the occasional 7 mile stroll to and from the Brighton Marina during which I eat ice-cream and watch a movie as a reward. I need rewards for everything just like a dog. Yesterday as my reward for working my ass off the last few weeks I bought some super sexy leather mountain boots I can’t afford and was repremanded by the sales assistant for not having bought them “at least” 6 months ago to wear them in. What kind of spontaneous adventurer plans 6 months in advance so they can wear their boots in? Phah. I always pack at the very last possible minute and of course I only had today to wear them in while walking around town, so tough. I bought blister plasters. Thats the sort of ahead planning endorsed by the Adventurer On The Go Society and the sort I’ll stick to. I just need to remember to pack them… maybe I should make a list.
And yeah, along the way I’ll be posting photo updates to yummy via my celly, like this one!
So all you lazy asses are coming along with me! Even those of you under house arrest.

hahaha, great. this was my favorite post. obviously since i find people more interesting than links and gadgets. and seriously, i plan my vacations usually the night before. and then i get restless and usually leave in the middle of the night, twice for toronto. those boots are going to be awesome. show me hadrian’s wall please. since i’ve read twenty or so novels that took place in briton i feel like it’s my home i’ve never seen. your pictures will be a personal experience in a way. some way, i guess. have fun.
twenty miles? that’s aggressive. especially for two girls. BAM! just riling you up. heh. how much weight are you carrying. twenty miles is tough without weight. phew! bring lots of bandaids and watch your step
