- | Next morning I persuaded two of the party to leave at about 8.30 a m. with the lightest of the 2 tents to hitch-hike to Banff, our next stop, early enough to secure a decent place for our camp on the Tunnel Mountain camp ground. It was about 40 miles to Banff, and if we'd waited until the train at around 3 p m. all the good sites would most likely have gone. The other two left together, leaving the two of us to pack up the rest of the camp. We got a lift with a couple who had parked a trailer caravan next to us, and were going on to the Banff site too. We reached the camp-site gate at the same time as the advance party, who had walked at least 6 miles carrying the tent, and were hot and tired, and not very amused at the joke. We quite recovered after a swim in the warm springs and a visit to the local bar. This was our first chance to get fresh meat since the trip started ten days before, so I went shopping, and we had a monstrous meal of steak, mushrooms, tomatoes and onions, plus homemade blueberry and apple pies and cream. | + | Next morning I persuaded two of the party to leave at about 8.30 a.m. with the lightest of the 2 tents to hitch-hike to Banff, our next stop, early enough to secure a decent place for our camp on the Tunnel Mountain camp ground.
