I've reached the halfway point!

What with walking to the start of the route, to and from accommodation, as well as bimbling around interesting locations en route, I've actually walked 57 miles, not 41.

If I'm brutally honest, I've felt better. My poor feet 😩😂

Well, today didn’t turn out quite as expected 😬

I’ve been feeling some swelling & pain in my left calf recently, & have worried it might be a recurrence of the deep vein thrombosis I had in 2019.

Was quite sore this morning so called GP at 2pm & got appointment for 3.15pm. In hospital in The Hague by 4.30pm, two ultrasound exams & more test by 5.30pm. Seen by four doctors & two nurses, home by 7.30pm.

Not 100% certain it’s a new DVT, but back to anti-coagulants it is 🤷‍♂️
