Two days before the big one

So we are finally gathering ourselves for the assault on St Leonard's Forest. Anton has booked overnight rooms in village pubs. Our walk will start again from Arundel and will take three days in what looks to be conditions of blazing sun.

So good job that I washed and treated my Berghaus last night. But it may afford some protection against the spitting of the dragon. Or village locals if they take exception to the rather natty pair of Vans slip on shoes I am packing.

We also managed to source things like a USB recharger for the MPG recorder from under Anton's desk. Annoyingly he has indulged his penchant for planning: buying clothes, and other paraphernalia. And he has already gone through a trial pack of his kit. Including the Kendal mint cake Anna bought him.

But there are worrying injuries to contend with: Anton has a verruca, and my back is bad with no time to see the chiropractor. The weekend will be full of moaning.

Best of luck on your quest. However, I must say I believe that dragons are quite solitary creatures and extremely misunderstood. So when you find the dragon you seek please take care not to exploit the creature. They don't take kindly to that and you may find yourself at the end of the lethal venom spitting. :)

Is the dragon a descendant of Smorg?

Do you mean Smorg, the famed Danish roll mop Dragon?

Kate said...

D'oh. I meant Smaug.

It may well be... Part of our reseach was reading The Hobbit. Our one is arguably more of a serpent than a dragon.
