Got woken up just before first light for the dawn service. Was still cold as f*** and so uncomfortable. Also had dew on the sleeping bags too. It was a nice service but sadder when Steve was talking about it on the bus. It slightly warmed up after dawn but not much and we ha to line up for the rank port a loos that didn't flush since I'd been needing to go since about midnight but was too cold to leave my bag.
