 "text": "Arrived at basecamp ~4:15am and promptly set up tents and went to sleep. Retrieved tatty hut key from the gasthof first thing in the morning, where it was confirmed that taped-off area along the East side of the basecamp field/parking lot has been set aside for camping, rather than parking, meaning we have more space this year!\n<p>\n\nAlice and Jonty then went for a mega shop whilst Hamish and I began unpacking the loft.\n<p>\n\nCharlotte, Harry, Hannah C, and Chris arrived, shortly followed by the return of Alice and Jonty, finally getting us up to the eight people apparently required to successfully set up the bier tent. \n<p>\n\nAlice and I (successfully) tested the Blue Box's number plate on the toll road, then returned to basecamp to admire the now completed bier tent, which shortly thereafter facilitated the frying of 2025's first batches of basecamp chips, shortly before Russell and Joel. \n<p>\nEvening came, accompanied by some splashing around in the river and much packing of top camp bags. Jonty got the tatty hut wifi working shortly before Dan and Dylan arrived by train. No Ella in sight, however, as she became separated from them during a particularly faffy train changeover, and is now due in an hour later. Lara and Hannah UG due by car past midnight.",
