I've just got back from 3 days walking in the Larig Ghru, we were hoping to get up Devils point and Cairn Toul but my Dad fell on ice and knackered his hip. It was stunning though, cold at night (about -7) and the ice froze solid in my Thermobak. Toasty in my Rab bag so 12 hours kip seemed the order.
When I got down I went stalking with Oakleaf - it was incredible, even though all we saw was a Roe Buck (out of season
), I'm now hooked and can't wait to have another go. I was glad not to have lost the knack with a rifle . A huge thank-you to a very very nice man.
Anyway, enough waffle, the pics:
My Dad and friend walking in:
Angels Peak with Brareach in cloud:
Dad feeling the cold at Corrour (newly opened, that day, dunny)
Larig Ghru:
Sunset, just up the valley from Derry Lodge:
Me, by the fire low down the valley (existing fire place)
Red Squirrells Oakleafs front door:
One of the walls inside an abandoned Farmhouse whilst stalking:
Last stalk, before home and dinner, nearly got a doe near here, but she heard us crunching the frost that had settled:
