September 16 2021 _ Heysen Trail Day 8

G'day folks,

Short update on my Heysen Trail journey from the Actifit app

I've had a few setbacks along the way these last few days, but things are looking up now. Covered a decent amount of ground in the last two days — 49 kilometres — from Burra to World's End Reserve, then on to Robertstown, where I'm writing from now

Watched a small thunderstorm roll past my camp about 2 AM last night - the lightning show woke me up

Only a few minutes of light drizzle reached me

Spectacular

I'm running pretty far behind with the blogging to be honest, hence the jump to (walking) day 8 today

Proper updates in the pipeline...

Working on them when I can, but the actual walking has to take priority

I'm in an area with no phone signal too, at the moment, which makes things tricky

I'm using the Wi-Fi at the Last Stop Op Shop Café in Robertstown to send this post

It only opened yesterday, would you believe? Talk about good timing

I must express my gratitude to the owner Joanne for her hospitality and generosity

Thank you


Signing off for now

Here's some photos from (walking) day 8

That last one is a huge hill I climbed up at World's End Reserve yesterday at dusk, trying to get some phone signal...

Didn't work 😆
