Did whole way without compass - was quite chuffed at that - weather was nice until thunder/lightning etc rolled through and made me soggy as.
fell over a few times :( and saw some cool creatures out there today.
*rewritten*
A very large ant (2cm long) managed to get onto my left bicep on the inside. I found this out from a massively sharp pain which came about as it managed to bite me through my kathmandu t-shirt. I flicked it off - it may or may not have survived - but the damage was done - I still have a welt bigger than a thumb print where it got me - it was ouchies.
*end*
Dave and Paul nicely hung back until I finished which was a nice surprise at the end of a long slog.
oh and shopping bags suck - myers bags are way better!
Not much more to add - going to be a good rogaine I hope!
Oh and I call bs on elevation haha.
