Spook and I got up early to see the first swimmers come out of the water. Iether Richard Ussher is a very poor swimmer, or he didn't turn up, but when the athletes began to change shape further down the field and we still hadn't seen him, we decided to do the sociable thing and go to Alexandra for the day rather than follow the Challenge. I discovered a lovely, unassuming little town, with a fab campsite. Probably not changed since the 1970's, with a terrific river running through it and lots of space for the children to cycle about. Spanish type hills all around for the grown ups to cycle in too. We stayed til late, but came home as Spook needs to go into work.
The night sky looks very different. The milky way is as clear as anything. Will take some time to get to know any of the stars. The children only just forgave us for not camping, but we will need to camp there soon.
Spook relaxed for a few hours. Alexandra lost it's Muttonville title.
