    That was week 2 I think…

    by
    I love the sense of timelessness that you get after a short while camping, hard to know which day it is. Starting to make some contact with my bunkmates and other folk, some amazing folk here. Still trying to find my minecraft feet. Lots of kindly help. So for week 1 we had to: Watch ...

    by
    Greetings from Camp Magic MacGuffin and Bunkhouse 2 (aka Wäscälly Wäbbits)! Sorry I didn’t write home sooner; I started my journey a little behind schedule and got lost along the way.
