Gold Coast Bulletin Day
I moved toward Oxenford with the day's people, support, and small human moments giving the kilometres their shape.
The closer we got to familiar names on the map, the stranger the scale of the whole thing felt.
Oxenford was where we were aiming, but the human bits around it mattered just as much as the distance.
I had a few people asking about routes and plans over the next 2 days, so I had attached the Apple Maps Walk routes for both days.
Basically the next day I would start between 6 and 7 from Oxenford, finishing in Springwood.
That day the average age of the HAA support crew went from 22 to 22.5 Happy 23rd birthday Ols!
When the day was done, another 15.3 kilometres were behind me, and the accumulated total sat at 5516.3 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.
