@Bopdude and I fancied a night out , weather wasn’t great , time was tight and it’s dark at half four in the afternoon, I was in Manchester visiting my new grandson so Al was in sight and set up by the time I arrived in the dark to pitch up .
As I arrived I could smell a lovely lamb stew before I could see the camp . A quick set up and we were good to go ( I’d deliberately packed for a quick simple set up as I knew I’d be arriving in the dark and probably the rain ) .
The temperatures were pretty warm, it rained lightly throughout the night but we were comfortable under Al’s 3x3 tarp with plenty of fuel for Al’s new Firebox stove ( I’m sure he’ll be along to tell you how much he likes it soon ). So a good scran and some bush TV saw us out till bedtime ......
We both slept well and woke to a dry but misty morning , Al had his usual lie in and then finished of his stew , I had hot dogs and an all day breakfast .
Usual pack up , and a few photos in the daylight , a tidy round (#leavenotrace) and a leisurely walk out saw us on our way home for half eleven . A great overnighter with great company and a Michelin star stew
Roll on the next one ........
