coast 2 coast

Is exhausted!!!!!!!!!!!! Probally has something to do with having very little sleep the past two nights and walking 34 miles across Cornwall! :D

I did the Coast 2 Coast challenge with 2 of my Explorers and our Explorer leader.  It was my fifth time doing the challenge and our fourth year dressing up.  Pirate was my choice this year :D

We camped at Nineashes on Friday, was blooding freezing and i hardly slept at all :(   Saturday morning was freezing, our tents were covered in ice!! After breakfast we went to the start point, Par, from there we walked 22 miles back to Nineashes.  Mother went and bought me some extra socks and blankets whilst i was walking, so Saturday night i was a little warmer until the early hours of the morning when it got freezing again!!! Woke up to ice covered tents again! After breakfast we left the campsite and headed off to Port Issac.

Weather was awesome all weekend during the day.  Really sunny and hardly no cloud, but i forgot to put on suncream on Saturday and am rarther burnt :( oooops!

We managed to do the 34 miles in 11 hours and 25 minutes, beating all our previous years times by several hours!!!!  Was my favourite walk so far :D   Am very tired now and my muscles ache from the lack of moving i’ve done since getting home.  I’m looking forward to next years walk :D
