Lenny Henry would love it out here, people keep giving me condensed milk. (DCM etc.). I’ve no idea why, but I’m on my third tin now. It’s timed to perfection too, literally the day after I use one I’m given another.

At the wild camp there were a few people upstream from us. They kept themselves to themselves, but after dinner I thought I’d wander up and say hello. They were locals from the local Oblast having a weekend walking around the hills, camping and socialising.

As it turned out they were very friendly, before long we were sitting with them eating our second dinner and pooling our vodka. In the morning they left us since beer and our breakfast. Thanks guys, much appreciated!
