Team 4’s Day 1 – And off we go.

With the days of preparation behind us we made a relatively late start to Day 1 at 10:00am, heading off towards Bran, the mythical home of Dracula.

With the sun bearing down on us we continued on our journey, soon reaching the halfway point. After walking for 2.5 hours we were halted by a bus that invited us in. Taking the lead was Andrew who told the driver our destination of Vampire Camping and soon we had arrived.

After pitching our tents, we headed off down the streets into the shadow of Bran Castle (Dracula’ s Castle), having a filling lunch of pizza before touring the building and learning of the history and lore of the place.

Heading into the night, we met the leaders and two of the network teams for dinner at a nearby hotel, a fitting end to our first day.
