Thursday 24 September - 182116
Today we walked from Middelton Beach to Emu Point and back. I wore my hiking pack as part of my physio rehabilitation for my calf. While this walk does not give continuous views of the beach, it is on a nice path with no traffic and through the coastal bush, with opportunities to look at the beach along the way.

We stopped for a break at Middleton Beach and had morning tea. I then put my pack back on and we walked up the Ellen Cove boardwalk towards Port Albany for a bit over a kilometre. We did not go the full distance to Port Albany, based on advice from the physio. This was the first time I have tried going uphill with my pack on and no heel lift in my shoes, and I was pleased with how my calf went. Total ascent today was a bit over 100m, so still very mild. Our timing was great as we had the opportunity to watch two tugboats guide a bulk carrier into Ataturk Channel.
We followed this with a swim at
Middleton Beach. While this was still very cold, it was warmer than first thing
in the morning with a noticeably warmer top inch or two of water. A late lunch picnic in the park was the
perfect way to conclude today’s adventures.
The afternoon was boring but
necessary stuff – groceries, collecting stuff from the post office and general
life administration.
