Back down at the camp site, there was a surprise as Don and Phil were there, after having had a few days in the hills on their own. This was in the days before mobile phones and these coincides were not planned and just good fortune.
That night as we prepared dinner, the conversation turned to thoughts about how the "seasoned" tourer and the "newbie" differ in their approach ... we had chairs a double petrol burner stove, chairs and standard fare food. The boys had a single gas burner, and tins. Not sure which was more effective, but the creature comforts do help as you get older!
