I was camped in the tent on another very cold night. Gloves were on with everything else except socks. But I did get up at 6.30am in the dark and put on my wet gear. The pants are stylish but are cold to wear being virtually plastic and the hardshell jacket is a good windbreak and a help when you are not bare chested but i had to have everything else in the wash.
Jumped out of bed put the washing on and then race back to get back into the sleeping bag. It was then I realised I could still have worn the puffy as I can not wash that properly here. The detergent I used is shavings of soap that I carry. Its Lush something or rather. Shampoo or something. Shaved it finely with my knife and it worked OK.
Not much else to do the rest of the day with time spent redoing my packing and packaging the food for the next leg. A couple of adjustments to he menu to keep the weight down. I was booked into a room for the second night. It had a bath in the room which I used for a couple of hours.
A few massages using magnesium cream and then dinner at the bistro. Recharge all the electronics which was better than hanging around the toilets. Packing heavy for tomorrow with a new food pack and 5.5 litres of water. Planning to dry camp on the top of the range for the night hopeful to catch a decent sundown over the pound.
