Plan is to walk east for 30km today and to set camp at 2230 GMT.

Update
The hard walking is beginning to manifest itself in Jo's feet.  Already gruesome thanks to the London marathon, Jo's feet are even worse now.  Some would say this simply isn't possible but apparently it is. 

Morale is high.  Yesterday they made good progress and warm weather meant they had to strip down to their thermal layers while walking to enable them to cool off.

The Met Office is forecasting a storm on Saturday for the Foxes so they are trying to push on while the weather is good.
