Monday : Sunny then Rain We had a decent sleep and breakfast today, last one on the road so we finished off most of the food. We were on the road pretty late today but arrived at Sherwood Forest before midday. We somehow timed another event. There was a Robbin Hood Festival on today at the park. So parking was a little difficult to find but we thought that this could be fun. It was alright, and it was good to see loads of people getting involved with the free ...

Sunday : Sunny Finally had some good shut eye but still not nearly long enough. Soon we were on the road driving south heading for the border. Well you certainly couldn't miss the border that's for sure. There were heaps of English and Scottish flags and big rocks with Scotland and England signs on either side.

I actually had a bit of a laugh when I recovered from the shock and realised what the hell was going on. At 2:50am we were so rudely awoken by the loudest fire alarm in the world! My ears ar...

Thursday : Rain Getting a good run of sleep ins. 3:30am I got woken up by a bloke scrummaging around the room for an hour with a torch getting ready to go for a hike. He totally Should of been packed the night before and why have a shower a 4am? Extraordinary lack of efficiency from a German. It took me ages to get back to sleep after that. He would of had a shocking walk too, the rain and wind started shortly after he left. It was nice to listen to the wind and...
