Day 4 and a call to 4G

A bit over 19km today and much harder walking. The sand dunes have started and he said they are hard but there's worse to come.  A better night's sleep too and not so many mozzies - or putting the net up earlier worked.....

Graeme rang Nathan's class today and chatted to them all about his trip and I presume what he's been seeing.  Through that we learnt he's had a flat tyre each morning and he asked the kids to vote on whether he should continue to pump it up each morning or replace it. From memory, I think the majority voted to replace it.  Nathan was excited that the call happened but as he's not always a forthcoming child I didn't get a lot of information from him this afternoon. No doubt he'll tell me more tomorrow once he's digested it all himself.  Now Lizzie is on Graeme's case to call her class!

No animals or people or stories to tell (I've started humming the play school theme....). Apparently there might be a little rain tomorrow but he doesn't seem too worried about it. His back is good in the mornings but by the end of the day it's starting to hurt more on one side than the other so he's been adjusting the load balance on the cart and will try shifting some of the harness padding about tomorrow to see if that helps especially as these bigger dunes are coming.
