Arcata

So on Tuesday, Dougall eventually managed 104 miles, despite the strong headwind. He camped somewhere in his cheap-o tent which was about 10 quid and was chosen purely because it hardly weighs anything. Good thing it didn't rain that night, because the waterproof levels of that tent are pretty much nil.
Yesterday another 120-ish miles were covered, with Dougall ending up in Arcata, which is where my sister lives. So he slept in the newborn baby's room, ensuring a good night's rest........hahha well ok the baby slept with the parents, so Dougall wasn't actually in charge of looking after him all night!!!
Due to the lack of photos getting through, here's an artist's impression of Dougall's night in a tent:
