She's in for the Long Haul

Nic'O and I had arranged to meet at Hordern Stoops this morning and very shortly after we had arrived, this lady appeared from the direction of the trig point:- http://breatheunity.com/unity-zone/kate-driskell-lands-end-john-ogroats/

We had a brief chat and within a couple of minutes she had set off for Spitlers Edge.

Many thanks Nicole, for tracing her blog. She seemed to be in good condition both physically and in spirit.

I had asked her how long she was expecting her shoes to last, and she explained that she had posted a pair forward, and would be donning them in just a few days. Apart from the expected shoes, she was entirely self contained and unsupported. She went on to say that in view of Tuesday's adverse weather forecast, she had last night eschewed canvas and stayed in the Holiday Inn - I bet she lingered in the bath.

Very best wishes, Kate, we hope you stay injury free and enjoy the next 500 miles.

If you use the link to find Kate's blog, you see that she had to bale shortly after getting to Scotland, due to injury - but she says she'll be back! Good luck plucky lady!
