Diary
Wednesday 12th September 1973
Work out on lawn. Slept out – OK.
Thursday 13th 1973
We planned to leave for Petersfield today, but by 4:30 I still hadn’t finished packing my rucksack. AJT had already done his, so he suggested postponing our departure for a day. We slept indoors today, after having a meal at the Indian restaurant.
Friday 14th September 1973
Breakfast was a bit slow, and having to rush over the Stockwells to see if their rucksack was any good (which it wasn’t), we got off after an early lunch at about 13:00 hours from Stanmore.
Arrived in Waterloo at about 14:00 hrs, and train left for Guildford (at 15:00 hrs), for Petersfield (16:00 hrs).
Bought soup and 1p worth of spuds and set off for Buriton through fields and cow dung etc.etc. Arrived at B at 17:30 hrs, bought drinks, stamps etc, and then set off at about 16:00 for Sunwood farm, and then on towards South Harting. We stopped near a farm (—), made a fire and burnt our potatoes (4 of them) and 2 curry pies which M had given us followed by a cup of black coffee. I found a dead dog while we were looking for firewood. We stopped at about 19:00hrs and slept about ??? hours. We reckon, at the mo, without looking at the map for checking, that we’ve done 6 miles today.
