Well it was a little blowy last night. But I think I slept well.
I had set my alarm for 4.45 but silenced thst I lay there for a while but I had to get up so let the air our of my mattress. And slowly packed up. I was in trail by 5.30 and set off along the river back to water. After about sn hr I spied the cattle trough.

I bottled up and headed on eventually the river bed became dust .I crossed over the cattle grid and headed to the main road.
It was a long winding road passing by several very smartd ranches..
As the road where several boxes left by a church group. i dumped my cow water for fresh then headed out yo walk the 13 miles to Silver city. Luckily there was a dust road besides it so keeping you safe from the traffic. As in began to walk the wind got up and typically it was in my face.
Although I guess it kept the temps down bur it just made my nose run great .
I pushed on passing a dead and decaying horse nice. Eventually my foot path ran our so I crossed over and continued my yomp
Afte several hrs I thought why am I carrying so much water. So stomped and dumped 2 litres.
Well that felt a little better.
After another two hrs I notices a pickup pull up on the other side of the road. As I got nearer I noticed it was Tim. I crossed over.are you going to give me lift in ?
DO you want lift in?
Yes…no not really.
He handed me a gatorade omg how good that was ice cold so I couldn’t neck it. We chatted a while as I drank my drink.

Okay back to the trail soorry road
I pushed on and the sun appeared. Wow its amazing hope wrinkly she can heat the tarmac .roasting my feet.
Hr and miles passed but I was no closer to silver city.
But once I past the sign it still seemed miles until I was there.

I found the hikers hostel but it was rammed no vacancies.so I headed down town. Next hotel was also full fuck fuck.okay the next 1 room but v expensive I will have it
But fuck fuck fuck my credit card is not working. I think the chip has just failed.
So back up credit card.
At last a room I dumped my kit stripped off and straight to the shower. Wow that was so good.
Once dried I called the credit co
They were werse than useless. Not impressed
So maybe I will get a call in the middle of the night….Maybe.
So I put my uk sim into my back up phone.
Next I went to find a ATM
Tried my card..pin worked but then funds were refused. Bollocks . So I drew money on my spare card.
Not going to plan.
