Another diverse few days, with tiredness, bailouts, glorious views, wonderful people, and poignant stories filling my days.

From a sun-filled Carvers Gap I crossed the balds and revealed in both the physicality and the beauty.

Then, a totally unexpected evening that filled my heart with joy with a bunch of new friends thrown in.

A chance meeting with a listener led to another new and solid friendship that enabled me to complete my longest day and learn a tragic story.

Today, a short hike into a wonderful new hostel. Things continue to go my way.
