I caught the bus from Hazlemere (with the forgotten tent) to Wycombe bus station, and then the park and ride up Marlow Hill to Cressex (M40 junction), where I met Christian at 6.15 on his way home from work.
It was a relatively quick drive to Weymouth, and we stopped at one services, were unimpressed by the food, and so stopped at a second, which was little better. We eschewed the McDonald's queue and got toasties from Costa.
We arrived at the campsite at 9.15, got instructions, drove through the coded gate, and found our plot with some difficulty. The tent went up easily, the readybed went up easily, and we wandered down to the pub for a potential drink and activity planning. I realised at this point that we'd forgotten towels. Because reception was closed, I asked the man behind the bar about hiring towels, but the best he could do was offer some paper towels, or suggest I use my cardigan. Hmmm. There was no internet to do planning, and so we decided to call it a night. After our ablutions, we settled down for sleep. It was fairly windy and cool outside, but warm in the tent. It cooled down over the course of the night.
