07:48: I was up at about 07:10: The sun was up at five, when I got up for a pee, but it’s only in the last few minutes that it’s risen above the mountain opposite and has started to dry my tent. It’s going to be a sunny day, thankfully. It’s cold and damp now though. I’m wearing three layers on top. I’ve brushed my teeth and washed my socks and I’m going to have bread, butter and honey for breakfast. I’m thinking of zipping in to Bischofshofen to the sports shop to see if they have compatible canisters.

21:14: My right big toenail, the one that’s had the fungal infection for much of the journey, is falling off. It’s become detached from the nail bed and is only connected at the right edge. I’ll need to bring it to a pharmacy in the morning.
