Its been a long time since I wrote a posting. The JK in April was fantastic, the Trail-O went well, everyone in WIM did their bit, the weather was wonderful. What did i write – nothing.
However, it has been a very wet summer and one of my abiding memories so far is of the walking club tent I captured on Day 2 of the French 5 Days.
Waiting for the European Trail-O Champs’ Model event to begin, we were sitting in the Car Park at Carcans in a horrendous rain storm. As the rain lashed down and cold and miserable orienteers wandered past us, searching for their cars, a large red caterpillar (in reality a club tunnel tent protecting at least 16 people) led by a figure under an umbrella, shambled past us. I had to get out of the car to capture it and got immediately soaked to the skin, but it was worth it.
