Still a lovely afternoon when we arrived at the Queen Elizabeth Country Park. We were nice and early so we had the pick of pitches in the '6.00 a.m. start' section of the campsite.Could that be rain clouds building in the background?
And because we'd raised so much sponsorship money, the team were given a fast track registration process.

Later on the Gurkhas treated us to a pasta dinner. Very yummy! And when I say us that's 520 teams of four and their support crew. Not to mention all those helping behind the scenes. Then they cooked breakfast for us all next morning.

There were some shopping opportunities - time to buy a few last essentials (chocolate) and Oxfam had some great bargains in their tent. Craig splashed out on a rainhat (sorry about pun) which he wore for several hours before losing it. Apparently this wasn't his 'purchase to loss' record.
Finally that evening we were treated to a great performance by the Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas.
