Day 13 – Cookin
I finally crack the problem of waking up shivering my ass off, and get some proper good kip: my bedding goes as follows, from the ground up...
1 Tarpaulin
2 Ground mats
1 1” Foam brick layer
1 Ground mat
1 Felt blanket (handmade by my mum)
1 Thermal pants
1 Thermal top
1 Sleeping bag inner (why have cotton when you can have silk? Cheers Abs)
1 Sleeping bag
1 Bivvy bag
1 Bright orange rescue-me-now coloured blanket over the top of all that (Cheers AK)
1 Egyptian Bedouin carpet on top
1 Dreamcatcher (all the way from Denmark made by Maja, works a treat)
I wake up at 4am when the coals die out to:
- Put a hat on
- Pull the blanket and carpet over my head
Snug as a bug in a rug in October.

Well Ed it seem sthat you are getting on fine and dandy in the World of Tipi. I can only read in wonder at the exploits and yearn to do something similar with my boy when he gets a bit older. Hasn't AK joined you for a night in the tipi? I would have thought a nice crisp October night in the tipi would have been right up his street and would help with your heating bill.... (go on, try the mushrooms, I dare ya)

Well, I continue to be truly impressed Ed (I decided saying this was better than saying what I was going to say - which wasn't very polite... something like "boy, when you choose a lost cause, you REALLY commit!" Only pulling your leg!)

Ah... the days of Weston Medical, sinking ships, and a months tax free wage... now that's work experience!

And COB, AK has of course been round this weekend, but that's another blog (to be continued). Yearn on, wish I'd got here sooner!
