Bad day

Started off well although we were all tired after night of frolics
with escaping donkeys
We entered the forest
Quite a monumental moment, with the
Key from the forestry commission then aaaagh, started to rain again
and then how many tracks?
Looking back we went wrong almost immediately but we didn't know
Had a wet lunch spirits high met a great guy , head of the commoners
association from the forestry commission who thought we were mad (we
are) but told us how to get there
We even wrote it down still went wrong
Piers and brian both trying to be alpha male re the map Reading
Me trying to be alpha female re map Reading (that is a joke as I am
renouned for my apalling geography skills)
at least an hour spent trying to work out where we were
Lucy and I offer to scout back
Think I can run, reAlise I can't anymore
Try and make i phone be more useful
Work out where north is
Not sure why as doesn't help
We find track hurray
Lucy tells us it is not suitable
Piers and brian don't really believe her
We go down track
Very unsuitable
It is now late
Toby crying
Everyone looks a bit grey
We decide to ditch the Cart and go ahead with the donkeys
Track is a death track
Donkeys are heroes
It is rutted , marshy, muddy, overgrown, in fact not a track
I lead
Many Girly screams, think teddy has broken his legs for a moment
Finally we make it to camp
Me brian piers and Deborah (artist who is walking with chair
strapped to back) drive back in the Fairgame van which luckily jez
dropped off yesterday to pick up brians landrover from where we
started then back to the forest to find the cart
We tow cart back up from the bottom which involves brian towing and me
piers and Deborah holding the cart
It is a long way up
Piers and I row whilst doing it
I want to hurt him
Get cart to the top
Deborah says it has bern a really exciting day
Unload van which is at the top
Load cart into van
Re load van
Drive back
Am completely knackered
Not speaking to husband
Sleep really well
Thank god for day off
