We queue endlessly and nervously for ECG submission, pack checking and the issuance of our salt-tabs, bazooka-sized flare and ASBO-style ankle tracking-tag.
Slow-roasting in the sunshine in each respective queue, it was a chance to get to know the other competitors ..although this often stretched to the uncomfortable extent that we would collectively end up over-sharing with one another as the queues would typically last longer that polite conversation could cover.
My hair is already disgusting. Temporarily untying it to form a tighter bun, it falls in 3 fat ginger dreads that I will now endeavour to avoid touching again.
The end of the day again brought redemption for the days’ discomfort as our last provided meal was not only ridiculously generous but also served with wine. God bless the French. Again.
