Interesting evening. Busy roads. Base camp where tyres lost grip just above cake shop, Hayfield. Foresight: The Sportsman for beer & voting before trek. Trees & snow highlights. Kinder res liquid. Very white & snowy. Al body surfing a snow wave. Gareth (secret weapon) sent from team high point to rub nose with The Downfall. Rather deep 'stuff' in the The Downfall maws. Forgot snorkels. Empty roads. Warm dry beds. Dreams of gateaux.
