St Ninians Cave [Picture Heavy]

[Puddock]

Morch, Scout, Johnny and I headed out for a wee overnighter at St Ninian's Cave which is near the Isle of Whithorn. The night was mild, no midges and lovely and peaceful with just the occasional cry of a seagull or coo of a woodpidgeon.

We camped near the beach on the side of a steep hill, we needed oxygen by the time we made it up to base camp!

Scout impressed us again with his culinary skills as he made improvised pizza (but we won't mention the missing ingredient....tomato sauce)

Four go beach combing, we did find a bottle of tomato sauce on the beach - alas too late the pizza already munched!

Beach art - those stones look easy to balance, but trust me they are not!

Morch and Johnny discuss alterations to the Bat Cave

Nathan and Johnny watch the sun go down

Basecamp

My hammock and tarp (thanks again Sandbag for that great group buy)

The smell of woodsmoke

Pizza preparations under way

The smell of food

The company as always was great and we whiled away the small hours chatting and relaxing before turning in to our hammocks. Here's to our next trip lads.

I haven't been at the caves in years, though I keep promising Dharma I'm coming down to visit.

Thank you for the photos and sharing.

cheers,

Was a great night. Long overdue. Nice to sit around the fire listening to the sounds of the woods. The weather held till about 11:30 this morning so we decided to pack up and head home. Thanks to Dan for inviting us along, must get out and do it again soon.


Some more pics. Unfortunately i forgot to take any of the camp setup.

We walked down to the beach when we arrived

We then returned later on to have a scout about and watch the sunset

That's because you were too busy with fire making and cooking duties
