AND THEN DISASTER STRUCK!!!
An organized camping group arrived, of 6 or so people, with kayaks, and a good amount of camping gear. I went up to say hi, and to see if they’d like to be on the better part of the campground that I had laid claim to most of (they were on gravel) and to apologize for the trouble– “We should be the ones apologizing… A bus with 30 people for a Duke of Edinburgh course is about to arrive…” “Oh.. $#!*… :)”
And at around about 9am, a bus with 30 teenage girls arrived.
Constantly excited and noisy teenage girls…
30 of them.
Suddenly, a queue 30 people long to use the toilet.. "OH MY GOD THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING TOILET EVER!!!!!" ... next girl ... "OH MY GOD THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING TOILET EVER!!!!!" ... repeat 28 more times.
With the outlook of having 30 camps in Dalys Clearing that evening, I was giving some thought to scouting around for another campsite. (And it was a 2 hour wait before the queue to the toilets was cleared…)
