The shape and design of the coffin is an age old design; I suppose as with the theatre there is sometimes just one sensible approach. For part of today I follow or walk along an old aqueduct which is precarious at times. Space to camp is rare and I find a wild camping spot.  The second headline for today is just how hard the second half of today's walk is. It is either steep uphill, steep downhill, fighting through brush or just trying not to plummet off the ledge you...
