Day 12 - Friday 1st October 2010

On my own today and a wet and cheerless start without Jane who had had to go back to Oxford for all sorts of reasons. She has been a fantastic encouragement so far. When she left she was convinced I would fall apart! Instead I walked my 18 miles through a downpour in record time with gritted teeth!

The excellent Harry has spurred me on at each step of the way. He slows the traffic and accosts passers by and tells them about Zane. One man stopped me to ask who had persuaded me to undertake such a crazy trip; "Are you being punished for some crime?" he asked anxiously. We agreed that no court could pass such sentence to walk from Ed to Lon on a 68 year old for it would be in breach of the human rights code!
