Day 23 – 19.5 miles to Machtum
Last night it rained. Real rain. Hammering down from 1.00am to 5.00am, so not much sleep again.

Still following the same river and the same road. My earlier comments about the terrain getting easier were sorely tested today.
…but then turns out alright.
Another day of 3200ft of up, but today the inclines were less steep allowing me to get into a pace, so I was a lot less tired.
My calculation of ascent yesterday was not right. I had double accounted for one hill, so the real summary is 18.5 miles and 3200ft of up.
My resupply parcel is on its way (thanks Kev/Nick). I emailed the recipient. Still OK, except no vacancies on my expected arrival Sat 26th. Can do Friday = hard work, or Sunday = too late. Have decided to go for the Friday.
