Nov 29 - Uckfield, England

Awoke at 8:30. Had breakfast with the family. Packed up, leaving my tent, sleeping bag and unnecessary clothing here. Left in a bad mist. Mr. Voller drove me out of town 10 miles. I started off through the wet, narrow, winding and hilly English country roads. At 2 pm I arrived in Uckfield. Went to Michael's house - he wasn't home. The people across the street took me in until Mrs Simmons came in. Had dinner, when Michael, his 15 year old sister and father came home. Went to Mike's Ranger Scout meeting a few miles out of town. Got to sleep late.

Mileage: Folkestone to Uckfield 80 km

[At the 1967 World Jamboree in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, the scouts had a big "get acquainted" game. Each Scout had a card with one of the letters in "Friendship." Each scout took his card and matched up with other scouts to spell the word. Michael Simmonds was was the "D" on my card]
