Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 6/10 - not awful and not amazing
Fatigue: 5/10 - still pretty wiped out. But I’ll be better tomorrow
Ease of terrain: 5/10 - I found it slow going
Challenges: still feeling pretty wiped. But I know by tomorrow- I’ll be back to normal. I’ve had some good sleep and good food. Just what my body needed.
Highlights: I slept for 10 hrs straight last night 10.30pm to 8.30am this morning 😀. I had 0 expectations for lunch - but it was delicious 😋 just what I needed to keep me going for the afternoon. A pilgrim hadn’t turned up at the place I wanted to stay - so I ended up getting their bed. Also booked in for dinner and they are doing gluten and diary free for me.
