Seems like weeks ago when I posted "only 7 weeks and 4 more days" but it was just earlier this week. Is time standing still or am I just growing impatient? As of today, our wonderful adventure begins in exactly 7 weeks!!!
Our waterproof pants, waterproof backpack covers, chilly pads and trail towels arrived yesterday from FroggToggs. What great people we dealt with. Will Fowler, their Director of Marketing, was so personable and generous. He acted like he's known us for years and did everything he could to get us what we needed for free or at a very discounted rate. Thanks Will!!! Lauren and I couldn't be more pleased.
I'm learning that I don't have everything as neatly organized as I've been bragging I did. Discovered yesterday that there's no train station in Robin Hood's Bay (where our walk will end on the North Sea). We'll have to find a couple different buses to make it back to one of the bigger towns we will have already walked through to find a train that will get us back to Manchester Airport in time for our flight home. I plan to figure out that mess today. This just adds more excitement, right? I mean, after walking 200 miles in 17 days, won't it be more fun if we have to schlep a few different local buses that stop at every farm and take 2 hours to go 25 miles rather than just getting on a train where we're standing that goes directly to Manchester Airport??! Of course it does. And I'm a size 4.
