OK, so I lied in the last entry about it being the last one until much nearer departure. But today, Alex and I embarked on a grand mission, in the full spirit of adventure.
We needed to start learning our backpacks, understanding them, becoming one with their many clips and zips. We packed them full of things just like things we will be actually taking, T Shirts, boxers, soxers, etc. It turns out that these backpacks are bloody massive, and stick out from our backs by about 2 feet. In fact, we will probably have room to spare in them! They both weighed about 12kg, which is a relief because that is well within the airport limit of 20kg.
And so, fully prepared with rations of crisps, chocolate coins and more normal chocolate we embarked on our adventure. The plan was to walk away from home for about an hour, and then, come back. However, we didn't get particularly far, since we kept going round in circles. Often we would jump out of a field only to look back and see a "Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted" sign. This conscientiousness clearly bodes well for us.
A video is included, witness; Alex, and Me. Frolicking. In the fields. La la la la.
