January 11, 2026, From East Worldham to Alton

This was a tough one. Started dry-ish and then got wetter and wetter as the walk went on. First couple of km were walking along the bottom of a hillside at an angle in horrible mud/clay that stuck in big clumps to my boots. Last 7-8 km were agony as my new boots had caused a really bad blister on my left heel. Nevertheless, as always, I was glad to get out there and get into nature 👍 (but maybe on this occasion even more glad to get back to my car)
