Day 6 - Michael Eavis in a pair of hot pants
Walton to Bath - 27 miles
'Morning, George,' said Ben.
'Morning,' I said grumpily.
'Did you sleep well? I didn't wake up once.'
'No. I slept really badly. It was fucking freezing. I had to put on my suit trousers in the
middle of the night, along with all my t-shirts and my cardigan and I was still cold.'
'Oh. Sorry. It's a shame you don't have your own sleeping bag. Still, it looks like it's a
nice day today.'
'A nice day for rogering Mrs Rogers?' I asked.
'Please shut up. You said you would never mention that again.'
There was a queue of about five girls waiting outside the shower block, despite there be-
ing an empty cubicle.
'Is the shower not working in that one?' I asked.
'Yez, it eez, but a big animal eez in there,' said one of the girls in broken English.
'What sort of big animal? Is it supposed to be in there?'
'No! Eeeza animal with wings. It very scary. It go whoosh, whoosh,' she said, making
dive-bombing gestures with her hand.
I was intrigued. A large, scary, winged animal had taken over a shower cubicle in the
middle of Somerset. I had to investigate. I opened the door to the cubicle and peered cau-
tiously inside. Whatever the beast was, it was hiding. Either that or it was a master of dis-
guise.
I turned on the light and a moth started to dance around the light bulb.
'Is that the animal you are talking about?'
'Yez, close door. Ezza evil.'
'It's just a moth. Do you mind if I go ahead and use the shower?'
'You mad. But ok,' she said.

the moth, using my BARE HANDS and the girls applauded me like a hero.
Mrs Rogers was in fine spirits when we went to report to her for toilet cleaning duties.
She didn't seem to hold any resentment over Ben's comment the night before, and despite
our offers, she would not allow us to do any cleaning to repay the favour.

by our standards. It was a bright, clear day and we both felt the most enthusiastic we had
done since leaving Land's End.
