Slept quite well. Extremely tired. Got up at 6:30am
but, after breakfast and wash and re-pack, didn’t start walking
until 8:30am. Straight up extremely steep hill for 2 – 3km.
Then, on reaching main road, turned wrong way! Woke up in
Aberfeldy (extra 4km there and 4km back). Very demoralising.
Feet extremely painful. Stopped and broke blisters and patched
up feet. Same again at lunch. Feet very sore.
Walked on to Black River. 750m drop, but “jogged” down quite
quickly. Saw a large feral dog. Feet so sore. Took
wrong turn, but found out 0.5km later. Getting dark and
stopped at 8:30pm. Quick tea, feet wash, and into bed.
