After feeling like shit for the last few days I decided not to start on the retaining wall because it is the Sabbath afterall and instead go for a walk around Ipswich.

The sun was shining, it was 20C and perfect weather for a wee stroll. There was hardly a breeze too which made it somewhat different to my last wee walk in Walcha. I also wanted to hit a few hills and get the lungs and legs working as there has been a lot of lying around doing nothing since my return from Armidale.

My stomach is feeling as if it’s on the mend and I feel it won’t be long till I’ll be scoffing some Chilli Con Carne and enjoying the burn.

I fuelled the car with gas and was surprised at how little gas I had used on the way back, mind you I think because I last filled the car at Glen Innis and it was very cold and of course it sits above 1000m. So in other words there was more gas in the tank at that altitude and it appears that the economy was great.
