Caitlin: And then I don't have my van anymore, that had to get sold because me and [name] couldn't buy each other out of it so we just selt it and split the money, which was easier. But, well me and [name] are talking about getting another wee one for next year. Either like, a trailer tent or something like that.
Sophie: Yeah.
Caitlin: 'Cause I miss having that.
Sophie: It makes such a difference and in the rain it gives you somewhere to sit as well. Because when we arrived it was glorious sunshine, it was amazing and then it just--
Caitlin: It just pissed it down.
Sophie: Oh my God, as soon as we got the tent set up it literally just poured. And, like, we'd just dived in-- [name] had just got the awning up as well, so we just dived into it. And then, like, it went on forever.
Caitlin: It was a good, like, hour at least.
Sophie: We were all desperate for the toilet. Like, hopping.
Caitlin: Oh yeah, [name] was the same.
Sophie: And it was just so heavy and we ended up going in [name]'s caravan which is a hole in the ground. You have to go into a pint glass and then pour it down the hole and it-- actually you-- I sort of like-- you have to wedge yourself in the corner and, like, squat. And my thighs were so sore for two days after from, like, squatting.
Caitlin: Doing your squats.
Sophie: And having-- I filled the pint glass eight times.
