10th March Puerto Natales
Decision time. Initial plans of a relaxed few days in Puerto Natales disappeared in the afternoon despite a very relaxed morning to start the day. At 3pm we went to a free talk on walking opportunities in Torres del Paine national park and realised that the walk that we wanted to do actually took less time including transport than we initially realised. Therefore to fit it in with the Navimag ferry that only leaves on a Monday, which we also wanted to get and to avoid sitting around Puerto Natales for a whole week waiting for it, we needed to get a move on. So the evening was spent in a rush of buying Navimag tickets, hiring backpacks and packing 8 days worth of food and camping equipment into them.
The Leaving Party
Party and the off
We're off again on our travels!!!
After months of thinking about it, formulating the plan, booking our flights and last minute packing we were in need of a farewell party with a fine mix of Tod harriers, Calderdale tri club members and West Mount Vets staff. The theme was Heros and Villains, creating a good opportunity to get the fancy dress box out. Mr and Mrs Incredible hosted the party with fine attendences from Dangermouse, Trinity, Bonnie and Clyde, Calamity Jane and Wyatt Earp (or was it Woody from Toy Story), Number 1, Santa, The one and only miniture hero and may more.
Two weeks since the party now and our Bikes and bags are packed. A marathon has been run and we are ready to go......
