2lb_saucermeat Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Day 4 This was a brilliant day, not because it was Unst, and being an Unst man I should enjoy this one anyways! But because of the weather and company which helped me along. I set away from Belmont at the back of 8am, reaching Baltasound by 10.30am. Me, my 2 aunties, my sister, my wife and 2 year old son, walked to the Boating Club for breakfast before setting off again for Skaw. They decided they were going to accompany me north so north we geed, in brilliant weather, reaching Skaw in record time at 2.30pm. The blisters were good, bandaged up, however the sprained ankle was very sore, and nearly did my other ankle walking along the Setters which would have been a complete nightmare! My final leg of the journey tomorrow is the leg from Toft to Voe, which was missed out from Day 2 due to injuries. So come around lunchtime tomorrow, I can hopefully declare I have........not going to jinx anything, let you know tomorrow how I've done.

Ghostrider Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Good on you for sticking it out, and still having feet left at the end of it. Not something I'd ever have attempted at any time of life, enduring the distance might have been one thing, but just platching on and on mile after mile the repetitiveness of it all would have driven me crazy.
