First night was a success.

After flag up, and our first tent inspection (Amazon’s won.. well done girls), the chicken curry was a delicious end to a busy day. Followed by Angel delight. Tummies full and everything cleared up, we started erecting our camp entrance, plus some chill time before bed at around 11pm.

Camp were up at 7. Quick cereal before setting up their fires for a cooked breakfast.

Including a quick axe chopping lesson.
