Hanover NH
Just 1 mile to Vermont, and another state will be ticked off later today. Bit of rainy weather at the moment, mostly at night which is good. We got into Hanover and couldn't find a place to stay at all, all the hotels are too expensive and fully booked. Dartmouth College are playing an Ivy League game, and the town was busy. We got a shower in the University gym, but still needed to do laundry. This is the biggest town yet, and it was packed full of students, and i felt a little out of place, it was weird!
Luckily, a thruhiker whom we met on the trail a while back left her number with one of our group (we are 4, and a dog!). We got a meal, a bed, and the chance to wash our clothes for free. Everything works out in the end!
Now we're dry and clean, we're off to Manchester Centre (VT) in around 10 days time. Our mileage has picked up, there are still some hills and nice views of the leaves changing across the landscape, but the trail is easier.
We'll, be passing through towns more now which is a novelty, usually our resupply towns can be 10 miles off the trail.
Thanks for all the birthday cards and presents, you know who you are, British chocolate is the best!
Blog soon.
