The tree marks the spot. by jamibann

The tree marks the spot.

Just back from London on Sunday night, we headed into the Scottish hills on Monday for a two day trek. Quite the contrast! We're now both absolutely shattered. Anyway, this was taken on our way down from Loch Kander where we fished a bit and I picked blueberries. We ate the fish for tea and put the blueberries in our porridge this morning. Quite a treat! We pitched our tent on the flat piece of land near the one tree you can see. Truly in the middle of nowhere and the show of stars at 1.30 am was truly magnificent. Less magnificent were the clouds of Scottish midges at dusk and dawn. Thankfully we had the head-nets. Not very glamorous, but an absolute necessity in summer!
Quite a remote spot. How romantic.

That's quite an adventure. Love star gazing on clear nights.
And fab to eat in hunter gatherer style. Hope you have a restful few days now.

Such a stark contrast to your London photos :)

Sound like a great adventure you've had. And a good shot to go along with it.

What a dramatic contrast from your days in London....head nets sound the solution for the August misery of the midges!
