The sky was beginning to darken.
"Luc," I called ahead. "How 'bout be find a place to set up camp for the night? It's getting to dark to keep going."
She turned to me me. Smiling and pointing. I followed the direction of her finger with my gaze to find a flat area of grass no more than two metres off the track. Perfect, I thought.

Lucy had the tent up in a flash. I reached for my wind-proof jacket. Despite my long pant and woolen jumper, I was bitterly cold now. The temperature was dropping. And fast.

Lucy noticed too. Within minutes of the tent being up, Lucy and I were huddled together inside. Outside, it was too windy to light a campfire so we had to settle for sharing each other's body heat.
