A Chance Night Out

by Andrew

End of a two week break from work over the school holidays I snuck out on the night before my first day back to get that last bit out of it.

Trip Report

I took my southern cross tent not for any reason other than I wanted to, as i had not used it in a long time. Thoroughly enjoyed it, cosy but well ventilated. There was a fear at first that there was going to be no breeze with lots of flies but the spot I chose had enough to keep them at bay.

It's been a while since I had some rain in a tent, and waking with light rain was lovely in a torturous way that meant I really did not want to get out.
