Get up in the night and at dawn but nil to see. Force march back to main park quarters. Exhausted and aching. Four leech bites, painless but bleed a lot and canvas shoes filled with blood stains. Leave a strange purple spot on the skin like a meningococcal rash.
Cook up rice on a wood fire with onions garlic herbs 2 tins of baked beans a tin of sardines and a pot of tea. Sleep well in the dorm 4M$
