Ahhh.. just back from a solo camp last night, went out last week and set up a hut with some friends, a few tarps, and a frame, a good stock pile of wood, sorted!! Got a lift up then walked the rest of the way in. It was 1 degree when i left in the afternoon and the weather said it would be down to minus 7 in the early hours!!
It was a wonderful night, got a fire going, set up a bench, ate some venison stew and read one man's wilderness (what a great book) I turned in for the night into my 2-3 season sleeping bag with silk liner, feet in rucksack, I had a few hours sleep but was woken around 6am by Jack Frost, how rude, was rather cold so had to get the fire going again. dozed till 8 then got up.
I ate some porridge, packed up and set about the 6 mile walk home, was absolutely amazing as the sun rose over the Scots Pine, everything crisp and glistening with frost, birch the most beautiful. I met a few people on the walk who gave me the "what the" eyes, i really enjoyed the night but i need to invest in a much better sleeping bag, i am 6' 3 and dont quite fit into them well, anyway, thanks for reading.
