Timberline Lodge to 2121 campsite - 24 miles (38km) - 2121 miles total Breakfast at the lodge started at 7.30am which meant I got a bit of a sleep in! The breakfast was good, but my eyes were bigger than my belly and I ate too much. Surprisingly, I think my stomach has shrunk despite … Continue reading PCT Day 130
Obsidian Boundry to 2000 mile marker - 26 miles (42km) - 2000 miles total It rained for most of the night. Actually it probably cleared at some point to light mist in the clouds, but because I was camped among the trees, they dropped on my tent all night making it seem heavier than it … Continue reading PCT Day 126
Maidu Lake to Rockpile Junction - 28 miles (45km) - 1893 miles total Without meaning to I slept in today.

Castella to Picayune Spring - 25 miles (40km) - 1526 miles total The morning was lovely. I got to sleep in and wake up naturally.

Little Cub Spring to North Fork Feather River - 25 miles (40km) - 1340 miles total Due to getting into camp late last night we had a sleep in and left camp at 7. My cowboying experience was fine. No bugs that I am aware of and a lovely starry sky to stare at. There … Continue reading PCT Day 98
Bucks summit to Chips Creek Trail - 21 miles (33 km) - 1289 miles It was a lovely sleep in until we realised that we needed to get moving in order to do 20 miles.

Packsaddle campground to Whiskey Springs - 25 miles (40km) - 1232 miles total Today was a day of lots of short ups and down. It meant that we never had any huge climbs, but nor did we get extended periods of flat or down. I find that I can crush miles before lunch, after that … Continue reading PCT Day 93
