Bjorn fire - rivers and bog!

Today we enjoyed 12 km of continuous bog, interspersed by 10 river crossings. Blisters were common by the end of the day. The paths disappeared into the bog and we had some disagreement with the GPS which located us in the middle of one of the major rivers when we were actually stood on one of the higher summits. The day finished with us camped 2km from our planned destination when our river was one continuous bog. We retreated early to bed due to a mass midge fest issue.
