301km. It's done and I am done.

I cannot pretend that I stepped lightly along the coastal road from Eland's Bay into Lambert's Bay and onto the beach to complete the Eco Ventures 301 Ultra Walk with Fred and our fellow walkers.

But step I did.

We crossed the line, the champagne was poured and we played around in the icy surf taking pleasure in the moment and revelling in completing this crazy adventure.

So for the last time:

• Walking log: 25th August

301km of 301km. 

10 day Ultra Walk completed. 

A tough and challenging journey, many highs and as many lows.

Much pain and much laughter.

Stories, music and meeting locals along the way.

Seeing nature at her most beautiful.

Walking through blazing heat, through the cold, against strong winds, dark mornings and bright midday's, uphills, downhills, flat roads, back roads, farm roads, sandy roads, tar roads, bad roads and good roads.

I am proud of this dedication, our commitment to the preparation and am just a little in awe of having finished.

Remarkable.

It's done and I am done.

Fred's photos have been a joy and to end he snapped this final photo as the closing image for 'a foot on the path'.
