October 7, 1978

This morning at 8.30 I went round to the church with my kit but I had to go back for my teds and my gumboots. Then when we got to camp we discovered all the permutations for the top of the loo tent poles. Then after a lunch of beefburgers we pitched tent. I was in the tent at the time, but the others put dirt in Louisas cress sandwiches for packed tea. In the evening we went on a jolly good ramble around the fields. We had *Irene’s dog, Dougie, with us, and he literally pulled us over the ploughed fields in the dark!
*Our Guide Leader

I remember that dog – some sort of smelly, hairy terrier thing…
