Achilles

Walking has been difficult today because yesterday I injured my heel and as a result I have a large hole in it and it is very sore.

I was plodding along behind Jeremy at a very slow pace and so we only managed to do 15 km or so today.

For the first part of the day we were walking up and down some quite steep little hills on the border of the forested region of the sandy plain where we have just walked from. The change from pine forest to deciduous woods is quite marked and the heat of the day is different in the sorts of woods as well because evergreen trees seem to amplify the heat whereas deciduous trees shade you instead.

Almost nothing remarkable has happened today and unfortunately we could not get to see the badgers that were expecting to last night
