End to a long second day. . .

Arrived at 11th peak at 6:00pm. Elidir Fawr, 924m. 




The descent to the valley bottom from the last peak was the worst stretch I've had so far, every step was agony man! Knee is killing. Just seems to be downhill, it buckled a few times! 

Welsh Rob has had longstanding knee problems and he's suffering aswell but is dealing with it.

Felt really bad for the other lads as I probably added an hour on to drop to the valley bottom. It's horrible thinking you holding every one up!

Lyons, Legs and Walsh seem to fighting fit.     

Walsh had been a diamond all weekend. Holding back with the slower and the injured when he could be striding ahead.  Keeping us on course. Always making sure every one is doing ok and enjoying the trip. Walsh was built for walking and climbing and could do most of these mountains with his eyes closed and he has sacrificed alot to help the group finish this challenge and make sure the rest of us get the most out of it! Legend!! 

Arrived at Lyons senoir's car at 8:05pm. 

Checked into Pen-y-pass YHA and got tea on. Sausage and potatoes, no masher in the kitchen so it's officially not bangers and mash! 

All had showers and a beer and crashed out. 10 hours walking today! We'll all sleep well the neet and not just because there's nee german animal sharing our room!
