Feet, heat and the urge to cheat

The hardest two things about walking a long way is not your two legs.
Even someone as banged up as me, (with reconstructed limbs x2) can take it one step at a time. After you have done that 30000 times you have probably earnt 🍺, beef, brocolli and bed. The biggest b of all however is blisters, the bain of all bipedal beings.
They struck today and I (Ross) did not cope well. The heat didn't help either as days are now reaching high twenties.
Tomorrow we need to walk 32 Kms and so our plan includes
Two compeeds for my worst blisters
Plasters for minor ones.
A six thirty start with breakfast at a patisserie that Google says we will find ( open) at 8.4kms.
We will buy half our water along the way. That stuff sure is heavy.
