A wet week at camp
Pony Club camp this year was appallingly wet. Luckily I was in the top ride as I am now one of the older members. We were allowed to stay all week despite the weather while the younger ones were sent home after a couple of days. Even before camp began the forecast was awful and my mother got a call from the D.C. two nights earlier to ask if I could bring 2 macks as it is much better to have a dry one to put on if one gets really wet in the morning and wants to go out again in the afternoon. Luckily my riding mack was getting a bit old and small for me so my mother bought me a new one on the way to camp and I and two or three others had a couple of mackintoshes which was really good. It started raining on the first night and we quickly found that our tent leaked! I had a drip right over my camp bed and had to get up in the middle of the night and put my new mackintosh over my sleeping bag. Next day it rained incessantly and that went on for four days. The ground got boggy, the ponies got cold and we just were never dry. My old riding mack leaked but the new one was great and even when it was soaked it never let in a bit of rain. Some of the others were lucky and had a new mack like me but others never put on a dry mack at all. After two days the two other younger rides were sent home but we stayed on and some people borrowed mackintoshes off those that were going home so that by the end of the week nearly all of us had two macks to use though some were a bit small ...
