Our day began with Tyler’s musical “wakey wakey”, setting us up for a fantastic 20 mile trip ahead of us. After breakfast, we were greeted by a couple of huge hills and made our way to Walcott to do some much needed laundry. As our clothes slowly got de-toxified, the food crew went to buy […]

This morning we were grateful for toasters and not having to pack up camp, giving us a much needed relaxin start to the day. Fueled by bagels, we headed off on a wonderful dune hike. We climbed, slid, jumped and rolled to the sea, eventually emerging with sand in every orifice. We ate sandwiches in […]
