After hoppling into camp last night we decided to give Pete's knee a rest today. He had strict doctor’s orders (x2) to rest and do nothing.

Sarah and Bridgette set off early and headed to the hills. We followed the Pennie way west across the plateau with no real destination in mind, just relishing the time off the bikes. The scenery was beautiful, with the path leading up a valley on to open more land. We came up one side of a creek in the morning and decided to head down the other side in the afternoon. This brought us to some amazing rocky crags, one of which had a hidden bivey inside. We met a quite a few people hiking.

Back to camp around 3pm, bored by 3.30pm. So decided to make pancakes, very yummy especially after we were given fresh black berries by some other campers. Another walk up to the hills that evening, hoping for a similar sunset to yesterday and for some phone reception for Sarah to phone home. We lost out on the sunset but the there was a lovely old quarry to explore.
