Last night we camped beside vines and played cards until we could see no more. I slept well enough apart from some unfortunately vivid dreams that woke me at four in the morning but drifted off again while wondering what sort of creature might be snuffling about outside. I suspect a hedgepig.
At six my alarm sounded and i heard a tractor but thought nothing of it until it seemed that it was working nearby. I called Jem who grunted a bit and said it didn't matter but I insisted and we both eventually went to look.
A tractor was spraying nearby vines but Jeremy said they were not on our field and it would take hours to traverse all the intervening vines so we went back to brew up.
A few minutes later to my horror I saw a tractor with cyclone sprayer bearing down upon us as we sipped coffee. The guy had started our field in the other direction making our end first.
We madly packed and moved stuff to the side of the nearby woods and the tractor had to wait while i removed the coffee stove. Grumpy farmer or what?
Still, after the bad start we made seven hours of walking and twenty seven kilometres of distance.
Tonight we are setting up camp....
Next to more vines. Gluttons for punishment.
Ps. Bit of a disaster beccause jem has busted his tent.
What a beautiful butterfly
