and did we make ourselves at home! when getting into camp, we parked out bikes in the bike park (if they were not needing any other mechanical attention), headed off to find the Team 10 avenue of single dome tents (with a mattrass in them), picked up our luggage, fetched a beer, or two (see Herman's hands), and ran off to de-dirt ourselves in the showers - mostly with hot water - nogal! We were also able to tuck into a snack of shwarmas with different fillings - when there was anything left - being Team 10, and only having one smaller group behind us, meant that we often nibbled at the scraps that were left (after a brainwave suggestion, we got the organisers to let us get to the dinner buffet first on the last 2 nights - so don't expect any of us to look much leaner and meaner - except for some lacerations on lower legs from close encounters with thorn scrub en route).
A couple of snorers (as always) added to the symphony of the night, and by 04h30 the low rumble of trucks and generators starting the day's proceedings rudely pulled us from our deserved resting states.
