    Just waiting for a home delivery and then I can pack the last few bits (beer, wine and errr.....oh yeah, food). Got four waterproof coats packed. Think they may well be needed!

    Not the best of journeys down and then temporary traffic lights 6 miles from our destination.

    The dog was slowly rotated during the course of the evening and once he'd stopped steaming I knew he was dry enough for bed. Unfortunately, he'd grown since he'd last been in my hammock and he couldn't get comfortable, hence neither of us got a good night's sleep. Every time he stood up to get comfy, the whole thing would begin to swing and his eyes would widen to the size of saucers. We got up to answer the call of nature at 03:00. Benny was too energetic in his attempt to jump back into the hammock. He went clean over the top and landed on the other side.

    It was with regret that I decided to lower everything to ground level in the pursuit of a good night's sleep. It was however a success. I woke up early and then realised it wasn't. It was 09:00!

    This was the sunset on Saturday night - a real contrast to the previous evening....

    Benny had several walks and had eaten quite a bit of Mark's wood, so he was quite tired (again)

    This is Mark's washing machine drum in action. Not something I would recommend unless camping-from-car but a really good bit of recycling.
