Porlock camp site

Hi everyone,

Everything going fairly well except that he had problems with his mobile phone as he had it packed so tightly it switched itself on and was nearly flat when he went to use it. His ruck sack was uncomfortable when he started out this morning as he didn't pack it properly but he stopped and corrected it which felt a lot better and he forgot to pack his tooth brush. Not bad for the first day ehh!

He's made it to Porlock camp site where he phoned me from a payphone. He found the walk quite tough as there were a lot of steep climbs and it was a bit of a shock to his system after sitting in an office all week. His favourite time was when he reached the top of Exmoor which was the highest point on that part of the journey where he had a great all round view and was looking down on Porlock from a distance. He's hoping he might win a prize for having the smallest tent on site. He said that the vaseline is working well. I DO HOPE HE MEANS ON HIS FEET! He's decided to discard a few more bits of his kit to make his load lighter.

This is Steve at mission control signing off until the next time.
