A wee overnighter in The Lost Valley.
It started off with glorious weather, Sun splitting the skies and blue skies, odd wee puffy cloud. But , this is Scottish Highlands folks, weather changes at the drop o' a hat !
And said hat was duly dropped , lol ! It rained after we got to the campsite, so no pictures were taken, too wet . Thankfully there was no wind, the Glen being quite sheltered. No chance of a camp fire sadly, not a lot ( if any ) available wood to keep a fire going. All the trees ( mostly birch ) are stunted and there was very little standing ( or fallen ) dead wood. Ah well.
Second time out overnight with the oldest grandson, he loved it as well. Cracking walk up a gorge tae get to the Glen, cple o' bits had tae be traversed with due care ( ppl have fallen and died here ).
Spent most of the day , after the night camping in the Glen. Stunning scenery all around. We even got a wee impromptu fly by from the Coastguard !
Only downer , for me, was leaving ( by the cars back wheels ) a small grab bag containing a steel fold flat wood stove ( bought on here ) . Rather annoyed at my carelessness doing that, thought I ' d packed it in the car. Class A prat for doing that, lesson well learned.
A few pictures of the trip, mainly at camp as taking out DSLR was a pain with the climb into the Glen.
Thanks for looking .
