Where there's a hill there's a way

Some things I learned on the first day walking the SDW:

1. You're not allowed (by your walking companion) to stop at every pub you walk past otherwise you won't arrive at your destination before dark.

2. Cows don't attack unless provoked.

3. One mile is a much larger and more difficult amount of distance to walk at 4pm, when you have already walked 16 miles that day, than it is at 930am when you are full of breakfast and enthusiasm.

4. Pizza delivery companies in Petersfield won't deliver to a yurt on a camp site six miles away.

Here's a photo of a pub we didn't stop at.
