My
CPAP made my nose so cold that it woke me at 2am. I dozed fitfully
until 5am when I got up for a crafty tiddle. I then went back to bed
knowing I wouldn't sleep. I slept like a log and awoke to find Nick
was alreay up and about. I found that not being the first one up was
rather odd. I'm *always* the first one up.
We
had a very good brekkie, and then as I washed up I found myself
sniggering. The washing up facilities were next to the toilets and
showers. Windows had been left open and what I could hear was rather
entertaining. The "shower shaggers" were doing their
thing again (beasts!), and two small children were having
poos, each "plop" baing heralded with a cry of "Fire
in the hold!!"
By
10am we were ready for the off; we had this vague plan to finish off
the stretch of caches that we couldn't get to on Friday as our first
targets. Again we struggled to get round the road works, but soon we
were walking through the woods in the rain. Yesterday the weather had
been glorious; today it was wet. Whilst the rain wasn't really heavy,
it was a very fine rain that left you soaking wet. We exchanged
pleasentries with some joggers, and with that section of the circuit
done we then relocated to where we'd stopped yesterday.
We
carried on caching (getting progressively wettter and wetter)
until we found a rather scenic little area where a river crossed the
road. We scoffed lunch there then carried on until (finally)
all three hundred and sixty of the Compass caches were found. As well
as those three hundred and sixty we'd also found eighteen others on
the way. And today I'd beaten yesterday's record and acheived a new
personal best of one hundred and forty seven caches in one day.
Back
to camp; it was *so* good to get into dry pants.(And dry
everything else come to that). Having had rain all day the
evening was dry; very pleasent. We sat and watched the brave little
robin hopping round looking for scraps where we were sitting, and
then we scoffed some rather good fajitas for tea. And a couple of
bottles of beer too. Perfect.
I
washed up, and was in bed shortly after 10pm; I was worn out...
