The sleeping mattress worked well. When I inflated it this evening, it felt like laying it on a row of nails as I am in a field with old hard cut straw, but hopefully it will be OK.

This has been a long and hard day. The wind has been so strong that it has blown me off balance a few times. The snow was more than ankle deep at places, and it slipped in to the boots. Very annoying.

Going to eat and listen to an audio book that I started last night about Julius Caesar. Thanks very much to Alfredo for buying and sending it to me! It is really great to listen to an exciting book before sleeping.
