End of Day 5

5 days in and about 70 miles walked so far.
at least 1 phone appears to have died and the power monkeys are not working as well as they should...a number of us have had snatched conversations with either David or Ryan over the last few days and all seems reasonably well so far..apart from a split water bladder and a split in the tent bag (not the tent) the first night - these needed repairing and so delayed the start of day 2, not many miles done that day.
Ryan I believe has a number of blisters and there has been text messages about a pulled muscle but as they have walked nearly 20 miles today things can't be that bad.
They have camped in someones garden one night and with Davids chemistry teacher and family another night...bacon butties for breakfast - luxury! (they are on a camping holiday in the area and somehow found David and Ryan) more photos on the flickr map ...
Thanks to Martin Black for emailing us the photographs


David and Ryan sent a check in signal tonight at 8.48pm via the "SPOT satellite personal tracker" this shows they are near Culmaily so about 70miles down around 540 to go
