Fog, Farms And Fresh Fruit

I moved toward Eyre Hwy 29k short of Penong with the day's people, support, and small human moments giving the kilometres their shape.

Fog, Farms And Fresh Fruit: part of the day's stretch toward Eyre Hwy 29k short of Penong.

Some days announced themselves through the weather before anything else.

Eyre Hwy 29k short of Penong was the next useful stop. Out there, that was enough of a story: a name on the map, a workable place to stop, and another section of very large country behind me.

I would definitely look up Wensleydale Victoria on the map :) A bitterly cold foggy morning slowly gave way to another glorious day on the road, among fantastic rural South Australian landscapes.

Farms, sheep, llamas, hills, hills and more hills made up the bulk of a 50k day, leaving around 100 km until Ceduna!

Another big one is planned the next day A bitterly cold foggy morning slowly gave way to another glorious day on the road, among fantastic rural South Australian landscapes.

By the end of the walking, I had banked another 50 kilometres, and the accumulated total sat at 1957.9 kilometres.

That was the shape of so many HAA days: my feet doing the obvious work, and other people quietly making the impossible parts practical.
