Set the alarm clock for 1:23 am

Online alarm clock for 1:23 am

Waiting beside the DOC hut generator, you keep one eye on 1:23 am so the scheduled check does not slip past. Set the alarm for the agreed time, then use the 37 minutes before 2:00 am to prepare your torch, jacket, and any notes you need for the generator inspection.

While you are waiting, the alarm page can remain behind another browser page as you read or write down observations. Some browsers may slow background activity, so leave the alarm page available and check it again shortly before the set time. Keep the sound turned up and test that you can hear it from where you are sitting. If the browser is closed or the computer goes to sleep, the generator alert will not sound, so use a separate backup if missing the check would disrupt the hut routine.

A late-night generator visit is easier when the route is visible before you step outside. Set a torch within reach, point it away from anyone sleeping, and avoid relying on the hut’s main lights. At 1:23 am, let your eyes adjust before walking, then use a low beam around bunks and a stronger beam only once you are outdoors.
