Back Into The Adelaide Hills

I moved toward Drive back to Mount Barker Caravan Park with the day's people, support, and small human moments giving the kilometres their shape.

Back Into The Adelaide Hills: part of the day's stretch toward Drive back to Mount Barker Caravan Park.

The pause had done its job, and then I had to step back into the rhythm of walking again.

Drive back to Mount Barker Caravan Park was where we were aiming, but the bigger feeling was that another distant name was becoming real under my feet.

The weekend is over and it’s time to hit the road once more.

For those playing along at home that means tracker is back on, and I was now heading in the general direction of Melbourne!

It’s not the easiest thing to do, getting back out after a couple of days rest, but the highs of reaching Adelaide now have to be replaced by a dose of reality as this beautiful city switches from finish line to start line mode.

That gave me another 50.2 kilometres, and the accumulated total sat at 2899.6 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.
