Highs and Lows no.1

Week 1:
There’s absolutely nothing better then finishing a gut wrenching bike ride and going for a refreshing swim at the Point Turton swimming centre. When the riding got particularly difficult I simply thought of the bright prospect of a fun, relaxing (and sometimes violent-on the pontoons) time. (DATE)

Every day, towards the end of each bike ride after lunch, I would always get incredibly hungry, even with the aid of scroggin. However, a great feeling of knowing a tasty and filling meal was waiting for me back at camp would always extinguish the negative hunger affect!

The worst part of this week occurred every night, as if routine. The difficult and tedious task of cleaning my trangia was done in the dark and was really annoying because getting all of the grime off of the various dishes was unbelievably tricky.
