753--Day 3

DAY 3

Tick in the box for stage three. Another 21 miles done. Thats 60 miles in three days now (which is a first for me). I still have no blisters (hes a liar hes got three). My shoes are now too tight and causing me problems, despite being a size too big before I left. Theyve also started to come apart - which is impressive as theyre only five weeks old. Campsite is looking like a prisoner of war camp (except for the comedy local guy using a quad and trailer to advertise camel rides..?). Eco-friendly toilets line the route - bring your own paper and lighter!!
Well tomorrows the one weve all been waiting for: 42 miles, a good 5 of which are in sand dunes. Tasty stuff (unlike my breakfast which now seems to taste like cardboard). No update tomorrow as wont get in until about 5am Thursday which will hopefully then be a rest day. Still enjoying the holiday though despite quite achy shoulders. Backpack getting lighter by the day. Getting some great pics - wish you were here!
