Friday 3 Oct

Greta and Ian joined us for a meal last night and we had a lovely time. I spoke to my nephew Drew's wife Christina about my foot pain (she is a sport physiotherapist) and she gave me some advice, exercises and massage to do. This morning I was walking without a limp and with little pain. By 11am the pain was returning and when we set off after lunch I Could hardly walk. I took some more brufen and hoped it would ease but it did not and after 4 excrutiating miles in only 2 hours I had to admit defeat. I am going to take a few days off, go back to collect my car and act as logistics support, carrying bags and taxi- ing to/from accommodation. When my foot has had time to rest I will resume the walk.
