Rain, Rain and More Rain

So, we trudged on. Carolynn and I came up with a scheme whereby I would take all the readings and she would keep her right hand dry ing the zip-lock back and take notes for both of us. This worked up to a point. However, very soon our hands became wet and it was impossible to dry them. Next time I go out I am taking a towel! All our group were pretty well waterproof, but none of us had thought to take gloves - well, it was July after all. Jane noticed as I began to turn blue and offered me some gloves. I wondered what she kept in that large well stuffed rucksack of hers - Obviously spare gloves for everyone! I thanked her but declined. I was sure it couldn't get much worse. It could and it did!

We squelched on and on, looking at things and doing geology type stuff. We were supposed to be concentrating on mapping today but as drawing was impossible, we ended up taking readings and then converging on Jane who would put our readings on her map which slowly began to dissolve in the rain. Still, we were learning the techniques.
