Awoken early, by the children and then by the Cat. But today was one of eager anticipation. Ambled gently over to the window, not wanting to peak too soon and then to my disappointment found it was raining. Spent the next 10 minutes getting more and more frustrated trying to zip my shorts back in to trousers. For 5 days the BBC online weather forecast had been predicting 24c sunshine. Cunningly they must have had a Stalinist revisionist moment between my look at 10pm last night and 6 this morning.
Limped badly cursing down the hill to Pete’s, the verruca so large this morning I was contemplating using a third boot. Wondered (painfully) along whether Pete would be;
a) Up
b) Up and hungover
c) Up and hungover and irritably turning his house upside down looking for his phone or his train pass or something
Instead I found a serene and ready if somewhat bleary looking fellow adventurer stuffing some final items (with seemingly unwarranted force) in to his small, but modest, walking specific, yet retro rucksack. Truth be told I had never imagined that it could be swelled and stretched to such a size, both the fabric and the stitching worryingly displaying some translucent quality.

About the dragon quest
Anton Golawski and Peter Kenny are searching for a Sussex dragon. They are also going on a big walk in the countryside, starting at Littlehampton on the coast of the English Channel, past the castle of Arundel, then deep into the Sussex countryside to end up at St Leonard's forest where the dragon is reputed to have lived.
Last seen in around 1614, the dragon is a eight foot long serpent-like creature, who leaves a nasty slimy trail behind it like a giant slug. Worse still: it is a killer. Slaughtering people and mastiff dogs by spitting lethal venom.
