Big rest day for all in the bunkhouse today. Got up later and found breakfast laid out for us in the bunkhouse. Raining outside. Soon stopped though and before long jim, lee, andy jennings and steve pack all arrive on their way to the blocs. They depart, we watch the most unpleasant film I have seen in some time - crank2 - high voltage. When that ordeal is over I watch a southpark to take my mind off crank. After all this sitting still, the sun had come out and all had twitchy feet. We drive to thusis and I manage to buy a hat. Lee had also asked for a hat, and we amuse ourselves picking him a particularly smart one.
Magic wood is the climbers name for a valley called averstal. The boulders are pretty much at the bottom of the valley and there's another 20km spur which leads up to a village called juf at the road head. Its amazing and very alpine - beautiful mountains, rolling green meadows, snow, log cabins etc etc. Very nice. We dick around and take some funny pictures before heading back to the bunkhouse.
I'm about to start cooking when jim and lee arrive. We are hanging out chatting in the bunkhouse living room when the guy who runs it comes in and is upset that we've left it all a mess. Also, I think he thinks we are having a lot of people round, as it turns out that the others are all outside and had been about to come in. We do our best to placate the situation and get back on with our evening, but the atmosphere has been spoiled and everyone goes their separate ways.
We eat a nice tea and watch a film in german on the telly. Tomorrow back to the blocs.

The dude had kittens when he saw the 'mess' after our first night on Sams stag. Thing is, it was pretty tidy considering. He expects it to be kept as you'd keep your poorly grandma's kitchen whilst she is in hospital.
Being so precious is incompatible with owning a bunkhouse.
