There have been a couple of changes to the well laid plans (!) for our outdoor adventure.
To start with, the tent that we were intending to borrow (as opposed to purchasing and therefore using regularly) has been found to be in a less than healthy condition by it's owner, to the extent that it's canvas was not in one piece and neither were three of it's poles.
The next line of thought (guess where/who that came from!) resulting from the tent's demise was that we should purchase one. My objections to this bright idea were swift and outright. Not wanting to need to use a tent on a regular basis in order to justify the initial outlay was my foremost objection, finding somewhere to store the damn thing afterwards was another reason.
However, not seeing another alternative (not one that would be acceptable for all parties anyway!) I was resigned to the inevitable, we were buying a tent.
As luck would have it (depending on how you view it) another tent was volunteered for us to borrow. So now we just have to hope that said tent will be remembered tomorrow.
The other variation is that we are going down on Thursday evening and staying at Mark's brothers, then going to the campsite Friday morning.
