Well today was the big day with Ben joining the walk for the 1st time. They left Yarramalong at 10.15am and set out for the day 14km down the track. Things started badly with Ben being introduced to the leaches 10 minutes into the walk. After 2 hours came my 1st phone call saying get me out of here, i want too come home. They then came across 2 young Americans who were doing the walk in 10 days, so they walked with them for a couple of kilometers until they disappeared into the mist. I have just got off the phone to much surprise they had reached Palm Grove which is a further 6 km on. So they have successfully countered 20k's today, not bad considering Ben had decided he was coming home after about 4 km's. Effectively they have reached Thursdays destination allready, so they will take it easy for the next day or so.
Also there will be no meet up at Somersby on Friday as they will have passed there by tomorrow.
Stay tuned for next episode.
