The four were cycling along with Timmy running by their sides. It was a hot summers day and the five were off on their adventures again. This time they were camping in tents at the edge of a small town just a few miles down the coast from where George lives.

The five came to the bottom of yet another hill. "Oh it's too hot" Dick sighed as he started cycling up the hill.

"We'll stop for something to eat when we get to the top of the hill" said Julian. Timmy barked in excitement. They all laughed.

They all started up the hill. All around them were fields and the odd hill with sheep on.

They got to the top of the hill and got off their bikes. They looked towards where they were heading. "I can see it!" George cried out. She pointed towards a small patch of houses in the distance. "You can just make out the town."

The others looked in excitement. "She's right" Anne said delighted. Timmy barked. He was excited as the others even if he wasn't completely sure why.

They sat down on the grass and got the food out. "Oh Timmy get off me," George complained "its too hot and no you are not taking another sandwich!" The others laughed. They sat munching sandwiches, fruit and cake. When they had finally finished they all laid back. "Best food ever," Dick said happily "Hey pass me a ginger beer Ju". Julian grinned and handed a ginger beer to him. They all laid in the grass with the sun shinning on them and before they knew it they were all asleep.

A few hours later Julian awoke. He looked at his watch. "4 o'clock!" he exclaimed "We have been asleep for hours!" He got up and started shaking the others awake. "Hey sleepy heads we have to get going. We need to be at camp before dark". The others got up quickly. They packed up what was left of the food, got back on their bikes and started off down the other side of the hill.

The four cycled hard and Timmy ran beside them. He was panting hard. He'd never run so fast and for so long. The town started to come in to sight. They passed the train station which was on the edge of the small town. "Not far now," panted Julian "the field's just down here". They cycled on down the road and soon came to the big field.

It was starting to get dark by the time they reached the field they were camping in. The boys set to work putting the tents up while Anne and George went to find water. "Hey I found a well" shouted George to Anne. Anne came running over. They lowered the bucket. After a few minutes they realised the well was dry. "What shall we do now? The wells dry and we need water". Anne started to walk off. "Where are you going?" George questioned.

"To find a stream of course" Anne laughed. George grinned. "Of course," she said. "Why didn't I think of that?"

The two soon found a stream at the bottom of the field. They got some water and took it back to the boys who had just finished setting up the tents.

The boys found a few twigs and they got a small fire started. They all sat talking for a little while before getting into the tents.

"Tomorrow we will go in to the town," said Julian sleepily as he got in to his sleeping bag "Night everyone".

Everyone said night to each other and settled down. Everything was quiet…for now.
