Day 11 (mile 151)


It has got to the point that my only way of knowing which day of the trip it is is these note, how time has very little meaning out here.

I was back in the oar boat for a short river day. As it was such a short day we had a sleep in, it must have been 7am before I got out of my sleeping bag, as one of the guides pointed out to me we had our coffee in the sun. It must be said that out here this did fell like a sleep in.

We walked up a side canyon, well we walked up the first little bit of then it was about a meter wide and 20 meters high. To get over some falls we had to go with all 4 limbs (and often our backs etc) pressed against opposite walls, sort of an outward bound trip, without the safety ropes. I struggled with at couple of points of this but eventually I managed to get up. Tiered but very pleased. The top of this side canyon was a natural amphitheater which was quite spectacular.
