Wednesday 1st June 2022
Boy did it rain last night and unfortunately it continued throughout the day making it very difficult to get organised. I spent the morning packing my snack pack which includes nuts, M&Ms and sultanas and then my daily food parcels. Cereal pack, Wrap for lunch, Freeze dried dinner, chips, snack pack and snickers x 17 a very arduous task. Especially in the rain, thank goodness for the gazebo, but it was very cold working outside as it was only 10°. Then I organised David’s breakfast pack x 17.

We then headed after lunch to pick up the things I was short off, the other things we didn’t manage to get and the storage boxes. We finally got back to camp at 5pm and the rain was still coming down. After dinner David then had to organise his 17 days food packs. We are all packed into our 3 food drop boxes. We have one section where we have to carry 7 days food, for me this is 525g per day. So over 3.5kg of food at the start of this section. This is on day 7 so hopefully I am more conditioned by then. Day 1 we have three days food and day 4 we have three days food. So we will be easing in to the weight. On day 13 we have 4 days food. Luckily if we realised we have too much of anything we can leave it in the food boxes at the different food drops as we have to collect them after the walk.

Well I am totally shattered now, so off to bed for me. We still have to deliver the boxes over 150km tomorrow and pack our backpacks.
