Day 3

If someone in a singlet, pants tucked into their unpaired socks, covered in mud and possibly a touch smelly (I couldn't tell) walked into your pub and asked for a meal in exchange for a couple hours work in the garden or what not, what wouold your reaction be...?
"My God...what drug is this guy on? better call the police..." was the face I got in response. I did manage to get a black garbage bag for some litter picking though, not without the old - "go wait in the hall while I get you one" . . she thought I was absolutely nuts..

The next place I went into I got a coffee (sorry - cappuccino) a good conversation and a meal 7 miles down the road..and after not eating for two days, what a meal it was!!

So after three days I have walked 42km, not quite the 25 per day I was hoping for, but, a new element has entered this stroll, which seems to be creating more attention, and affection ;), I have filled up four garbage bags with trash in the past three days, which is dramatically slowing down my progress, and destroying my energy levels. So . . . 5000km . . . . ??? main thing is -

I am travelling my way, seeing more than I ever would have hoped to before, meeting some incredible people and am completely removing any element of pollution from the air and litter from the ground - my environmental conservation action in an attempt to raise funds and awareness for Frontiers' environmental conservation action!!

Every piece of trash on the ground, be it large or small, is a moment of ignorance and neglect by the person who threw it. Each one is as important as the next.

The most precious times in life
are those when time itself means nothing at all.
