Fire
Jumping fire!
It was a cold night
  
 

Breakfast


Is that a railway to our right?  No sign of a railway on the route plan!
Oh dear, slight detour required.  Map reading 6/10, must do better.
Lollies seemed to keep the spirits up
Lovely spot for lunch
  






AW using his Jedi mind control
The simple kite design is no match for me, I will build a box kite.
 

Looking hopeful...
Box kite too heavy, oh the sorrow.
True determination to get the kite flying
Running repairs
 




My kite!  Very proud and not at all gloating about it.  I forget, how did the box kite get on again?
Sunday lunch prep.


By this time it had all got a bit much for MJ!

AB - Suave broccoli killer
 
Mess tent, prep in the shelter and a neat row of little tents.
