Camping near Bochum, Germany. Only tent again. Was about to pitch tent but campsite owner let me sleep in the wee communal shelter instead. Some very heavy rain over night so glad not to have to pack away a damp tent again.


Discovered that my sleeping bag is leaking “down” – found the hole – wonder if there has always been a fault as there looks as if there has been a tear melted shut – I did get it for a very reduced price in the sales 6 years ago. Hole now hopefully fixed with spinnaker tape.


Meant to be heavy rain again but sun is out just now so about to load up Bertie and head off.
