Angela has been in Poland for over a week now. She was in Gdansk for one night and then caught the train to Wejherowo.
She has been training in the forests around Wejherowo (pronounced veyherovo) where the JWOC events will be held next week. Angela has now moved into the hotel where they will be for 2 weeks. This hotel is better than the previous hotel, although it is slightly out of town. Angela says:
The local dishes are interesting and food is quite cheap. We had pizza one night too. The Victoria is nice though. I am sharing with Kate and Laura. The food here is classy restaurant style. Cooked lunches and various soups and mains for dinner. All quite fine. We are buying water now as it the water in this hotel is a bit odd. Got a 6litre bottle pretty cheap.
We had the most summery day so far today. The forest is so nice. I feel like I am getting quite used to the terrain style now after almost a week training here. I have been to heaps of the training maps now. Most of the terrain is hilly spur gully style but you still have to be very accurate with compass to get exact direction. There are other training areas we have been to which are much more vague and flat. These maps give you a chance to make sure your navigation is on spot without tiring yourself out. I have been happy with my training so far.
Hope to be able to post here regularly during our travels.
Ian, Raewyn and Steven
