Boulderfield too tiring. Dark clouds coming in. I'm off to a camp for night. I'll pick up path tomorrow.
Start with this...
...end up with this.
And, yes, the Akto is in this photo.
With an early finish to the day (about 5.30), I could sit and watch the clouds, read some poetry, see the reindeer and other hikers on the ridge above.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

The Carn Toul boulderfield is a bugger isn't it? I hope that you made it to Wells of Dee for the night. If you did and the weather is kind it is a great camp site. I am very jealous.
Post for that night didn't get out until a couple of days later. I camped just down the stream in the blurry photo.
Spot the Akto - could be a competition ... well, maybe not. Good to see your photos posted, makes all a lot more interesting to read. PS are you still using the dehydrator or using bought food?
Dehydrator - moot point, Phil. The last of the original batch of pasta meals went mouldy. Being my usual lazy self, I only use it for jerky - beef or chicken. Even then I've just been drying out the meet strips, no sauces, nothing.
Nice to eat as snacks. No extra fat. Cheap cuts from supermarket. Bish bash bosh.
