Subjective feeling out of 10 on:

Enjoyment: 8/10

Ease of terrain: 7/10 - tough day with pebble and sandy beaches. Plus overgrown ferns with biting flies.

Challenges: I had the 💩 in the morning - not sure why! Not fun! But better out than in!

The Beach walking was hard going on your feet.
🪰So many flies during the final 6 miles into Peel 🪰plus they were biting us! Lower back felt a little sore at the end. It was so good to lie down and stretch out.

End time: 7.25pm

Subjective feeling out of 10 on:

Enjoyment: 8/10 - tough day - but I felt like I’d worked hard. It was nice to finish walking.
Fatigue: 6/10 - felt super tired around 4.30pm - was wiped out! So tired!!!
Ease of terrain: 7/10 - the first 6 miles out of Peel were great. Then the really tough sections happened - Constant uphill walking in the heat of the day with heavy packs is hard going. Felt quite drainer during it.

Challenges: very windy 🌬️ last night. Needed to get out of bed to fix the tent as one side collapsed!

Beautiful scenery - but some parts were brutal!! Wasn’t expecting it to be so tough.

My legs and arms are also super scratched from all the nettles and brambles we were walking through. Some parts of the path have not been well maintained and it’s hard going getting through.

Highlights: reaching Port Erin - good food, wild camping 🏕️ . Watching the sunset 🌅
