At 1616hrs we were rather plastered. 4 hours after we left civilisation as we know it, we were beat. We needed more than a breather, we needed 2 breathers! Any rest was a welcomed suggestion but we also knew that if we were to rest for too long we will loose momentum and get into camp late which we did not want. We wanted to get in before we lost light. So we would normally break for 5 mins for a drink and a rest before we pushed on again. Being day 1 was tough as our bodies were not conditioned to the terrain as yet but we pushed ourselves to hit camp before nightfall.
