Walk Summary
Once again ended up walking in hot afternoon sun. Feel like I am going to need a rest day tomorrow to recover. Seems I am only going to manage one summit per day unless there is a very short walk in or I can avoid the afternoon sun. Mind you out of the eight walking days available so far I have managed six major summits so not really doing too bad. Having not walked in hot summer conditions like this before it is quite clear that walking in what you would consider 'good' weather can be more problematic than walking in cold 'bad' weather. Really important to keep yourself hydrated and electrolytes in balance.
