We're off!

Day 1: finally, all the weeks of preparation and anticipation are over and we start. First stop Blewburton Hill's Iron Age fort - we will need some iron in us over the weeks ahead. Then on to the Wittenham Clumps, another hill fort, where instead of the expected solitude we met 1,000 schoolchildren, also doing a charity walk. Anyway, first 18 miles done and not too much pain yet.
