Given the forecast we might not have bothered if it had just been a TGO Challenge kit check. But Andrew and Kate had never been backpacking before, and Andrew really wanted to check out his D of E bronze kit. So we went ahead after adjusting our planned route. The kids really enjoyed it. My Terra Nova tent felt just a bit overwhelmed though.<br /><br />Yes Jenny, the tent is repaired and we are ready to roll.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-86467295445647702162016-03-29T08:41:29.621+01:002016-03-29T08:41:29.621+01:00Looks like you are ready for TGO.

They certainly enjoyed the Thai curry (with Mike and Hazel joining in the fun) at Phanthong in Altrincham later.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-33084769434914130572016-03-28T18:39:38.565+01:002016-03-28T18:39:38.565+01:00The sort of trip where experience makes a big diff...The sort of trip where experience makes a big difference.
