TGO Challenge - Wild Camps (No 41: 24 May 2011)

After a memorable night indoors in the back office with 20 others at Ballater campsite, where it was too dangerous to be outside due to the risk of falling trees, Mike left at 7 am for our next destination, a remote spot near the source of the Water of Aven (NO 549 871) at 440 metres.

I spent the day with Roger Boston, and we caught up with Mike at about 4:30, before finishing the day's exercise at 5 pm.

Our three tents were soon up, and I was able to rummage in the undergrowth, much to Roger's puzzlement then surprise, to find a bottle of wine.

Markus and Silke turned up after a while, and the wine was shared out, accompanied by some large lumps of cheese I'd found in Ballater. It was all very jolly.

This was the last wild camp of my 2011 Challenge, and it would be some time before No 42.
