| Day Two - Avon 3-Day Walk |
Most
people had a fitful night's sleep due to the nearby train tracks and regular
trains throughout the night. Plus, as one person said, "When the
first person in camp gets up - everybody gets up." Earplugs, sleep
mask, and being a natural early riser can help here.
Breakfast
5 am - 8 am: The menu was scrambled eggs, au gratin potatoes, kielbasa,
oatmeal, Danish, fruit and yogurt and cereals, plus hot coffee, tea, cocoa,
juices.
Breaking Camp
Now comes the real struggle - rolling up your sleeping bag and mat into some
replica of the way it was packed yesterday. Get your luggage together and
make sure you have what you want in your waistpack. Then get it all ready
for the Crew at the gear truck to take to tonight's Camp. And, while doing
all of this, showing some kindness for those who HAVE managed to sleep
past 4 am and don't appreciate your talking, laughter, swearing, etc. Show
some kindness and keep your lips zipped in the Camp area.
