Day 11 saw Josh and Andy complete their shortest day yet, covering 10 miles from Danby Wiske to Ingleby Cross.

While the mileage may have been shorter, the conditions certainly weren’t easier. After a night of relentless rain and a thoroughly miserable morning of more of the same, pretty much everything they own is now soaked. Clothes, tents, sleeping bags, bags, spare clothes that were meant to stay dry—if it can absorb water, it has. Their backpacks are now carrying not only their gear but what feels like several gallons of Yorkshire rainwater too.

Unfortunately, the weather forecast appears to have taken a personal dislike to them, with tonight and tomorrow looking equally grim. Spirits, however, remain surprisingly intact. Faced with another soaking, Josh delivered the quote of the day – “It doesn’t rain in the boozer.” It’s hard to argue with that logic. Naturally, this led to a tactical retreat to the nearest pub for a well-earned pint and some much-needed grub. After hours of squelching through wet boots, morale improved almost instantly.

For anyone following their journey, it’s worth remembering why they’re putting themselves through this. Andy and Josh are taking on this challenge to raise money for EyUp! and, just as importantly, to raise awareness of men’s mental health. While the blisters, aching legs, soggy tents and endless rain make for entertaining updates, the cause behind the walk is one that means a great deal to both of them.

Back home, Louise has apparently coped surprisingly well with Andy being away. Whether that’s because she misses him terribly or because she’s enjoying the peace and quiet remains unconfirmed.

Kirsty, meanwhile, had secretly been hoping that today’s torrential rain might finally waterlog Andy’s phone. Sadly, despite the biblical conditions, the device continues to survive. This means she is still receiving his daily dose of philosophical videos and motivational wisdom, proving that not even the Great British weather is powerful enough to stop Andy sharing life lessons from the trail.

With just four days remaining, the finish line is getting closer. The lads are wetter than ever, slightly smellier than ever, but still putting one foot in front of the other for a fantastic cause. If they can survive another few days of Yorkshire rain, they’ll have earned every pint waiting for them at the end.
