Despite a rather late
night last night I was wide awake and showering by 5.45am. I noticed
that overnight the washing-up fairies had not visited, so bearing in
mid the old maxim "If you want a job done, do it yourself"
I did it myself. I can't complain really; I'm quite happy to have
everyone else cook my dinner.
I made myself a coffee,
settled down in the mess tent and fell asleep for an hour or so.
After a late brekkie we
went for a little geo-stroll. Being on geo-camp we found ourselves
part of a seemingly endless stream of walkers also all geocaching. It
would have been nice for there to have been a break in the seemingly
endless stream of walkers; by the time we got back to base I was
bursting for a tiddle.
We put on silly glasses
and then went to the actual Mega-geo-event where I won a rubber
chicken in the tombola. Result(!)
After a few minutes
shut-eye we walked up to a nearby wood where the lab caches were
waiting fo us. Lab caches are geo-experiments tested out on attendees
at Mega-events; they were good fun.
We then went back to base
where marshmallows were being toasted over the fire pit, and as the
afternoon passed so people came and went.
We went round to the
Brightonians' awning for tea; chicken fajitas were excellent. And
once replete we walked to the event centre where a barn dance was in
progress. I had intended to dosey-do; but my back wasn't really up to
it. Mind you I was rather pleased to realise that the home-brew I'd
made for the weekend was streets ahead of what they were selling from
their bar.
After a very busy day I
found myself falling asleep and in a novel break with tradition I
took myself off to bed before midnight.
