the dreaded DofE.....

Ok...have begun to discover that, aside from playing the piano, blogging is a miracle when it comes to relieving stress. I am looking outside at the moment, watching the rain pour down, and thinking....**** - I am too decent to actually say the word, I'll leave it up to you to decide which one i used. Anyway, tomorrow - yes Good Friday - I have my dreaded DofE expedition tomorrow. This consists of a 13km hike through muddy fields and woodland (with the vast amounts of must increasing due to the rain), passing only a few buildings (if I am lucky). I then have to set up a 3-man tent (yes - one which I have been lugging round with me all day) and sleep under canvas in the rain. The following day will probably start unhealthily early, when we set out on another walk, this time a mere 11km to reach or destination point. Here we will be picked up by our parents (if mine remember) and taken back to our own beds....where I intend to stay for the next week.
