Last night’s campsite, despite being covered in spiky grass, was pretty flat so I got a decent sleep.

Managed to eat porridge for breakfast so the jet lag is fading.

More importantly for me I seem to be getting some trail legs back – managed a combined ascent of over 3000 feet ok.

Terrain was undulating and we actually got a running stream to filter out of! So I went to town on that and took 4.3 litres.

There’s a real dearth of good sites towards the end of this section, but we found something passable with no cow pats!

Tomorrow 4.5 miles to the Harshaw side trail, then the same again to the trailhead.

And Fleur 🤩
