It was only 15 kms and not much of a climb, so a perfect walking day except it was a bit wind, or blowy, as the English say. We walked mainly through forestry areas with a diversion to the cycle path because a tree was over the path.
In New Zealand we would just climb over or under or go around a fallen tree. I remember a day on Te Araroa, near Nelson, where a tornado had gone through our path. We spent about 5 hours clamoring over, crawling under, and bush bashing around dozens of fallen trees. In Scotland, one fallen tree creates a full reroute of the track. We were feeling very spoiled.
Afternoon zzzz
