First proper stealth camping.
I miscalculated my arrival time, didn't make it to the woods I wanted to camp in, ended up in a small patch of forest between two busy roads, didn't have time to scout the area and had to pitch in the dark. Turns out I set up next to a relatively busy forest road that wasn't on the map, saw at least 1 person walk it or ride a bike with a flashlight. So the rest of the night was completely dark, no headlight, no phone, no reading.
It wasn't supposed to rain, so of course there were thunderstorms for half the night. Amazingly I managed to get a few hours of sleep and woke up dry.
Overall, 180 km over 2 days and I feel saddle sores coming on. I don't know if I'm cut out to do this shit day in day out for weeks.
