Paddy,in Sept.85 I walked into Byrness towards the end of a very tiring day, a heatwave had been the problem for about three
days, water was very difficult to find.
On the campsite at Byrness,by the toilets and refuse bins
there was cooking kits, tents<still packed>,clothing of all sorts,
piles of food, every thing you ever needed.Very few were pressing on
to the finish.Heatstroke, sunburn,exhaustion,even four Brecon
Becon rescue lads were waiting with many others for transport home,
and only 25mls. to go.It's so easy to give in when everyone
else is pushing you.When you walk alone those pressures are
not there Cheers.
