I did this walk earlier this year. I think it was my 3rd walk with my walking group. It was horrible. We got lost, it was hot, it ended up being 9km. I was finished afterwards – I was actually finished on the walk – there were stages I was literally lying on the floor. It came up in our rotation again this weekend and I was determined to try it again.
It was still hot and it is a tough walk but this time around I knew it was going to be tough which makes it easier to mentally prepare. We didn’t get lost but still walk about 8.5km. But I loved it. We did stop but mainly to allow everyone to catch up, not because I necessarily needed to.
My feet were super sore afterwards and I felt it but it was a completely different experience to the first time I walked. I had such a big sense of accomplishment finishing this walk.
