A day in the life, part 1





So we thought we'd start a new series for all our dedicated fans out there which gives a bit of a glimpse into our life on the trail.

The first of the series is camping, what we do when we get home from the 'office'.

Once we've decided we're done for the day and we've found a spot that looks reasonable flat the first item on the agenda is usually setting up the tents. Then we cook up something fabulous from our choice of three meals that we rotate (more on the cooking front on future posts - we've got to give you something to come back for after all).
Once thats disappeared, which doesn't take very long, and the dishes are cleaned we're faced with some exciting choices. Should the three of us cram into Alice and Dennis' tent to play cards? Should we get into our cosy sleeping bags and write in our journals? Maybe start a fire to sit around? And thats about it. At least now its light later so we can hang out outside the tents for longer without freezing to death.

Pictures:
Dennis is darning his socks wearing his stunning 'round camp' attire of long johns and boxers, and crocs and socks.
Lane is cooking up a delicious meal.
Alice is packing her pack while trying to not let her sleeping bag touch the sheep poo on the ground.
We're enjoying dinner with Ruapehu in the background.
