Days 68-71: Achilles a-Killing!

Sunday 7/01/18 Jane was kind enough to drive me back to where she had picked me up the previous afternoon, but not before I had a cup of tea with her and Pooh and was gifted a few jars of Rennie’s homemade tomato chutney. Is there anything better than homemade chutney? I think not! On the drive we got to talking about my ideas of studying later in the year. Jane gave me some helpful ideas about this, which, when left alone on the side of the road, got me thinking seriously ab

Day 27: Where the Forest meets the Sea

Waking up in a warm double bed was amazing, but I wished for just another hour of sleep. I breakfasted on muesli and the last of the yoghurt that my friends had brought me, then went over to Charles' office of the Skene Creek Beachside Caravan Park where I was staying.

I finished my last post before the day was finished, but my ol' mate Nick Hepper from school drove all the way past Murray Bridge to bring me a birthday donut, some donut balls and rehydration drink (which I subsequently needed yesterday and today). He even stuck in some candles to say "1900". What a legend!Now if you've been playing along since the beginning, you'll remember that NIck has his own walking fundraiser called Walking for Ataxia starting in May 2018. I urge you t
