I took a few trips out to Darra to do some mapping over the last week.

The first time it was a nice sunny afternoon until I got there. Then it became a rainy, blustery, truly miserable evening. I got caught under a shelter in a park I didn't get a chance to map, waiting for the train to stop.

Not content to get caught out just the once, I decided to push on after the rain stopped. In the stupid dark, I proceeded to traipse down badly lit streets, mud-slicked construction areas, and eventually found myself quite unexpectedly stranded once more; this time under a really decrepit bus shelter.

By the time I got home, my jeans were covered in silty mud, and my demeanour had been thoroughly drenched by the rains. My hardware was all right, because it was only really wet enough to make everything *feel* miserable, not actually penetrate my backpack.

The second time around was great. I covered the north side of the train line. Aside some guard dogs in an industrial area (scary turds, them,) blocking access to a cycleway, and a particularly large spider dangling over the footpath (even scarier turds, them,) it was a good night.

It's not a particularly interesting area, but now it's seemingly complete. That extends the little corridor of completedness out a little further along the Ipswich line.

I've yet to add my changes from tonight, but you can be certain they'll be finished by midnight. [Edit: I lied. I forgot. I got caught up. It happens.]
