Seeing as no one objected he turned to face the forest once more. Not 2 seconds later Nikki walked past him, seemingly ready to take on the journey. She had a lot to carry, but Ben knew better than to ask and help her out. Maybe after 30 minutes he would ask her, although he wondered how much more he could carry with his backpack on his back and his guitar case in his hand. "By all means, lead the way, milady" He smiled at the pretty girl. "I'll let you know when you're going the wrong way."
The first 10 minutes would be the most difficult and heavy since there was still a lot of sun light coming through the leafs on the trees. After that there would be enough shadow to make it a bit cooler and more relaxing. He hadn't been to the camp site where they were going to, but he had a pretty good idea where it was. The camping owner had given him quite clear instructions. It was supposed to be close to a stream so drinking water wouldn't be a problem. However, until they got there Ben made sure to rationalize his water supply.
Ben checked his GPS and noticed they should be making a slight adjustment. As the only person in front of him, he directed his attention at Nikki."Nikk's? We have to turn slightly to the left. See that large oak tree over there?" He pointed at a tree larger than any tree around it, about 200 metres away from them. "That's the direction we want to go in."
It had been about 15 minutes since they started walking and Ben noticed the shadows becoming heavier. "Is everyone still all right back there?" he shouted over his shoulder.
