    Torn, 200km done, 1OO ish to go Blisters not healing

    Thanks everyone, I have always been double socking, boots were perfect until the orthotics . Have been draining the blisters but obviously they can't breathe in my boots. Current plan is I walk alternate days possibly, so rest, walk, rest, walk, walk. I am happy with what I have achieved/...

    Giving in and doing

    You definitely won't fail, you are not being marked on how you go. I am about to take a taxi up O'Cebrerio due to nasty blisters. I choose to do this so I can continue on (fingers crossed) for the rest of the walk, I am not failing, coming up short or cheating as far as I am concerned. I have...
