In Training

---

Have just spent a three days at Christies Beach getting in a bit of walking in with our back packs on....something we haven't done a lot of......

First day did a walk along the esplanade with the backpak on. Great ......overcast very calm and warm....perfect for walking. Stopped and started....walk....coffee....photo's....coffee.... walk...took about 5hrs


Second day did another walk along the esplanade.......went further this time .....weather still great.....walk ....coffee...photos....coffee ....walk....photo's.....trust me its all part of the training......took about 6hrs

Third day we decided to drive to Mclaren Vale and walk the Coast to Vine...shiraz trail.............It was a great walk all the vines are all still green....still had great walking weather....about 20k's in all..........we found a labrinth that was built out of stones......am sure that was a extra km......didnt get as much practise in stopping and having coffee....coffee shops a little bit more spaces out


I walked with my back pack full with everything that I will be taking....about 10kg......felt pretty good but constantly ajusting the straps as I walk to get them all in the right place. I think I have almost got them where I want them.

Nature took its call as we were passing the Oxenberry Farm winery...so had to call in then felt abliged to by a bottle of Oxenberry Farmgate Sparkling......tasted pretty good with some chicken and corn soup and steam dim sims that night.

Was a great 3 days
