Am now back at the campsite. Time to have a shower. And put in some dry socks. The rest of me is dry. My feet, less so.

@jon I got it the other way round. The rain started as I got off the train onto the platform. I'm now soaked.

Looking at the size of this pot I'm starting to worry I've made too much...

Rain is definitely easing up. Am gonna go in search of WiFi passwords and toilet roll, then head for a bike ride.

Correction. There is also a caravan which is occupied. Not sure by how many people tho.

Tent is up. Rain has stopped. Sun is out. Just drying out a bit and having some food before I head out for another ride. There's more hunebedden to hunt

Turns out I was hungry enough to eat the full pot. I have a belly full of hot tasty food. Now to wash up, and then crawl into my nice warm sleeping bag

I'm genuinely surprised how few people there are on this campsite. Sure it's May, and we've not exactly had a warm spring, but still.

Yep. Gonna get wet. Only question now is how wet...

@quixoticgeek@v.st avatar

Clean dry clothes. Yay. Have put waterproof socks on, so even tho my shoes are soaked. My feet are nice and dry.

I am very wet. I'm not certain my waterproof jacket is waterproof any more. Had some sand which I had to walk. But else it's been lovely, even with the rain. Have found a cafe and am warming up a little with a drink, and also drying out. There's no massive rush.

@MikeFromLFE mostly I'd like my glasses to stop fogging up...

Trains need a sign on the door into the end carriage saying it's the last carriage of the train. Sat watching a crowd of passengers moving down the carriage, discover they can't go further, then turn round and walk into the crowd...

quixoticgeek,
@quixoticgeek@v.st avatar

@th yes. But inside the train...

Somewhat later than planned. I've started cooking dinner.

@haayman no it's definitely dinner. Mince beef and potato hotpot.
