A star is born?
Every month, TRAIL magazine has a feature called Tent Face, in which three pictures of TRAIL readers are displayed. They usually show campers waking up in their tents, bleary-eyed, with a sort of "leave me alone" expression on their face. The best one (read: least flattering to the subject) is awarded a prize.
While rooting through my files yesterday, I found a gorgeous picture of Amber (our dog) asleep in one of the tents. The picture was taken the year before last in the Lake District, and is just typical of Amber: asleep in every spare moment, silly grin on her face, a picture of laziness. And I immediately thought of the Tent Face section. Traditionally they've only shown pictures of human campers, but who knows?--maybe Amber's mugshot will persuade them to break the trend.
On a similar note, my gear is now almost ready for the May trek. I've repaired the tent poles, and put the tent up to air for a day (even though I had to take it down again in a hurry to stop it from getting a wetting). I've obtained a fleece sleeping bag liner. Since my sleeping bag is only a one-season, 5 degree bag, this will help if it happens to be cold in the Lakes this May. All that remains now is to get the public transport details hammered out.
