Waking up on day two of our Heaphy Track walk was a bit surreal.
No idea the time, except it was daylight. I think it was raining a bit. Nothing was pecking at the tent. Already dressed — an advantage of sleeping in your clothes — so no mucking about getting yourself sorted.
But unfortunately the usual morning routine still applied — loo and cuppa, which did need sorting. And neither of which was a simple matter. I decided to take one for the team and shuffle over to the stainless steel bench — ever so inviting in the cool and drizzle of early morning, damp air clinging to the trousers.
