Today started with my alarm going off at 5 am and then I proceeded to pack everything up with an aim to leave by 7am. Jon & Caroline left at about 6am after spending from 2am onwards chasing possums from their tent.

Note to other TA walkers coming after us. Keep your food in your tent.

Anyway Gokul & I set off at 7.15am & started the 1st 4km being off beach before a really steep set of stairs down on to the start of 90 mile beach.

This part was tough, we had 24.5km from this point walking on hard sand with the views not changing. It was really rewarding to get to the Bluff campsite & use the cold showers though, especially after a hot day. It was also a bonus to get their at just after 3pm & pitch the tents & dry them out after the condensation from the previous night. Also got to hear my beautiful wife’s voice after calling her on the Satellite phone

Anyway early night tonight, body is tired & lack of sleep the previous night mixed with a sore body today, fingers crossed I feel better tomorrow & the 30km on the beach are not too gruelling!
