We're off again on another training hike on Thursday with six of the eight walkers. We're tackling the first 38Km of the route upto Checkpoint 4 near Amberley Station.

The distance is around 24 miles, a chunk more than the last two training hikes. Looking at the altitude profiles of the sections, they don't seem to be too severe, once the route rises it doesn't drop too far back into the valleys, in fact for most of the last section we're slowly going down hill. The published estimate time for a 24 hour pace is just under 9 hours, so it's still going to be a long day; but not as long as July 14th!

So if you know any good pubs in Amberley twitter us!
