After a wonderfully exciting and interesting 5 day non stop sail of 500 miles, and 7 days of overland travel covering 135 miles, Alan and I arrived at Loch Rannoch. Alan’s Blisters from early on had become infected and his feet were swollen. My heel blister scabs from my April Recce had burst and were also causing problems. After a days rest with no improvement, actually they got worse, we decided that we needed to give our feet time to recover. So just like the book where David Balfour was laid up sick for at least a month, we are planning to resume the run in August.
Alan and I were both given antibiotics as soon as we got home and the feet are improving.
