Warms sunny days with cold nights. Still using the winter sleeping bag.

Another problem free expedition, this time – bronze practice. I always like these better than Qualifying Expeditions because I get a good walk on day 1 and get to know the kids. There were few anecdotes to relate here, but I did see one thing.
Checkpointing one day, west of Long Itchington, I waited on a low hill for my group. I could see at least 3/4 kilometer down the road where they were to appear. The wait wasn’t quite long enough to put a bew on the stove.
A car pulled up and hesitated. Then they stopped and let 3 dogs out onto the verge. Nobody got out but they drove slowly along with the dogs trotting along the verge. Then they stopped while one of the dogs had a poo. Nobody got out to pick it up. Then they drove off faster forcing the dogs to sprint for a few 100 meters. In the distance, I could see the car stop to collect the dogs.
If I ever made a film, I’d put this scene in.
