Tent Adventure!

So here we are, in St Criox, preparing for a yoga retreat and dance vacation. And we have built a floor and created a stage and put up a tent (not nessisarilty in that order)
But alas sometimes unexpected moments happen, such as this 

So as you might be able to guess we just had to do something, really it wasn't a choice. 

We got a ladder rigged so we could get up to the problem area

 Getting a closer look we were able to see that one of the straps that holds the bucket (the bit that the top of the tent pole sits in) had come undone, once we got the tent pole down (as it has to come down before it could go back up!) we were able to see that the top of the pole had developed a sharp edge and had almost sawed thru the strap holding the buck. Oh dear, oh dear. 

But back to what I was saying!

So repairs, right? And Repair we did

By climbing up the latter and sewing a patch strip onto the problem area, while the tent it being stabilized by two people with ropes down below (if you ask me later I will describe it better)

So that was fun and exciting, woot very tall ladders! 

Ad then the tnts was fixed, Huzzuh!!!

So maybe no more tent disasters...
