Made it through the first day of walking. First third easy, second third more difficult, last third hard. Half urban and half empty landscape. Even benches to sit on were few and far between. Started out chilly and ended hot. We didn’t start until 7:30 and that’s why we ended up walking in the heat for about 3 hours. My hips are sore from the weight of the pack and my feet are tired but otherwise I’m feeling fine.
