We're baaaack! Had to make the trek back a day early - we ran out of fuel for our stove and so when we ate our last bag of doritos we had no food left that didn't require cooking.
The recap of Fisherground Campsite:
Friday - White knuckle drive. Found the perfect little plot of land to set up shop. Pulled out the foldy chairs, poured a Guiness, cooked beans & dogs, climbed in the tent to wait out the rain shower, played games in the tent while it rained, cooked more beans, rice & dogs, poured more Guiness, Captain One Match made a fire (with one match), slept.
Saturday - Awoke to sheep baa'ing in the neighboring fields, made coffee, eggs & bacon, started our trek up the mountain, wandered up & down mountains, found our selves in a giant, enclosed field with 3 wild pigs, were chased by the 3 wild pigs, had to jump over a stone wall to escape the 3 wild pigs, went back to camp, took a little steam train to a nearby town, had lunch at a pub, made it back to camp, basked/napped in the sunshine, cooked rice & soup, Captain One Match had some Jameson & lil Mrs. Muddy Boots made campfire cosmos.....
Sunday - Awoke too a million items of nature making a ton of noises (sheep, horses, birds, bugs, kids...), realized that we had no more fuel or firewood, ate pieces of bread for breakfast, ate doritos for lunch, laid in the sunshine, decided that we wouldn't be able to survive an evening without food we packed up.
And thats it! Back at home - Kevin has off tomorrow & we must get ready for our first visitor :)
