Resolution of Illogical Conflict
Running, Walking and Words.Illogical Conflict
You can love someone and hate the choices that they have made.
This conflict is illogical. It is a purely human trait.

25 Jan – Days to go on 100 days dry: 75. Days until the Dartmoor Way: 108
We have set the stages for the walk itself. Initially it was to be over 5 days, but one of the guys isn’t available until the Monday morning, so we are splitting it over 6. 2 half days, (Monday and Saturday) and 4 full days. (Tuesday to Friday).
The whole route, (using OS Maps) can be found here, I think I mentioned in a previous post that the official start and finish is Ivybridge. We are setting off from Okehampton, it’s the furthest point north and it just made sense.
