Happy Easter everyone!

Good Friday and six days to go! Rob and I put our packs on and walked about 5km’s this morning around the hills of Kedron. Intermittent rain showers had as testing our packs again and our jackets. It’s still very warm in Brisbane so as soon as the rain passed and the sun came out we started to sweat!

We have no doubt that we will appreciate the good equipment in the UK though, where it will be significantly cooler and wetter. Just like we did in Tassie in 2016.

What do we have in our packs? First cut includes safety and cooking gear, and rule of two for clothing. One set on and two in the pack.

As you can see from the second pic I have already culled once.

As we walked Rob and I talked of the many good wishes for safe travels and “Bon Voyage” that we have received and what a lovely night last Saturday was with family and close friends. Thanks again to everyone for contributing to such a good night and celebrating Rob’s birthday too.

One of the cards Rob received from work this week sets the scene for our walk across England week after next…

Moving Coco today to my good friend Willie’s loving family care for the duration, excitement is tinged with sadness as the farewells continue.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and relaxing Easter break and if you are on the roads, please take care.
