Lazy Days

Well, that's pretty much the end of the season and last night was Archie's last shift of the year. It was an uneventful night. Despite the high winds, there were no casualties. There was one tent which I thought was on the verge of collapsing due to the winds and the fact that it did not have any guy-ropes tethering it to the ground. The tent withstood gusts of up to 40mph (approximately) at times and was still standing at the time.

One tent wasn't set up correctly, so every time the wind blew, the walls of the tent blew in. The occupants were out several times attempting to fix their tent. Needless to say they packed up early in the morning and left just after the gates were open.

The final tent, well that didn't fair too well against the elements. The entrance collapsed, exposing the gas bottle and other items (which will probably never work again) to the world. In the morning, I checked their ticket as the tent had a number of tickets attached to it. One was for the 22nd and the other was the 23rd. I'm sure they were wishing they hadn't bothered re-booking for another night.

A short post tonight, I'll be having a fairly long discussion with Alex tonight to find out what will be happening now that we're one warden short.
