Day 53 | Telford Campsite
6 December 2022 | 11°C | 27km
One of the hikers in the Birchwood hut feels a bit sick and runs to the loo several time at night. Did he drink bad water? Or is there some virus flying around?
It’s raining quite heavily in the morning and while one of the southbound hikers heads out early most of us have an extended breakfast to wait for the rain to stop. 10am is a late start but rain finally ceases. Great views of a valley with a wide river at lunchtime. A first sneak preview of what’s coming up? Phil is all exited to get his fishing rod into the water.
First sighting (and almost a catch) of a rainbow trout which seem to like the rivers up here. Also one of the many river crossings ahead. Wet feet will be daily business from now on 😅 Together with Michael and Georgia we head all the way to a small campsite beyond the border of the Linton Station, a huge private farming property.
Amazing (or puzzling?) how much land someone can have in this country!
