6 hr walk - training

Yesterday we went for our first 6 hr walk....started at Sayward Rd and walked for 3 hrs along the Lockside Trail to Cy Hampton Park and then returned.  The terrain was flat, the sun was shining, and we discovered two accesses to the water that we hadn't seen in our cycling days along the trail.  Stopped very hour or so and took off our shoes & socks and had a snack. Had our backpacks but not fully loaded.   It wasn't too bad at all.  Derek has sore ball of one foot today & Gayle is a little sunburnt on one arm.  Saw two squashed garter snakes on the road and two herons fishing on the seashore.  The trail was busy with cyclists.
