4.34 miles 113m ascent just under three hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleet Bay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been a while since I had walked with a rucksack and I woke this morning with rigor mortis. It was not generalised so either the early phase or already beginning to wane. I had been unusually tired the previous evening but was pretty sure I had been alive. So it was too soon for rigor mortis to be wearing off yet. I didn’t recall any interaction with the undead, though I had mentioned seeing a photograph of a zombie. (I had intended leaving a link but cannot now find the photo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This walk had not been particularly arduous and Knockbrex Hill, its highest point, is only 40m high (and not 130m as some internet sites claim – it is 130 feet high). But it was my first outing with a rucksack this year, and the first over uneven ground. These two factors left me with stiffness in trapezius and quadriceps femoris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
