D.O.E

I just came back from my silver practise hike for the Duke Of Edinburgh's Award. (http://www.dofe.org/ <- if you don't know what it is, and want to find out about it). It was in this random village up in the mountains called Lithrondontas and this is how it went: Yesterday, it started off as a disaster:

• Our group leader left the permission slips in his pencil case which he had already given to his dad, so we almost didn't get to go
• Next, once we arrived in Lithrodontas we realised we had forgotten the tent!

However the route was ok, and we arrived at the camp site early before it had really gotten dark. We had loads of fun at the camp site. We made halloumi and pitta and souvlaki on these mini BBQ things. However it started to get really cold, especially after the fire we had made died out. But once 6 of us were all squeezed in a tent in our sleeping bags it was fine. I didn't feel the cold at all.

So today morning we wake up, and although we were supposed to leave at 7, we couldn't leave before 8.20 because there was some random rally going on, and it would have been too dangerous. However, although the route was long and tiring; it was really easy and we didn't have any more difficulties along the way thankfully.
