Morning all, I think a good night's sleep was had by all. Matt has just done our breakfast, Lorne sausage omelette
I'm just off for a wander around the site, capture a few good views if I can.

Down to the shelter with my beer and book. Was going a bit stir-crazy in the tent.

Probably knackered.........lack of sleep and rest after being bounced off the walls of the shelters during the storms

That's about the size of it. I've been sleeping with one eye open when the winds are high!

To be fair, in my case it was a serious case of "bladder pressure versus getting out of my cosy bag into a freezing tent" this morning. Bladder pressure won at 9am, but I would have stayed in bed otherwise!

A nalgene wide knecked bottle is your friend CD.....saves getting out in the rain and cold.....with practice......no need for Tena pads either ......also benefit from the warmth when you cuddle it.

Have a safe and steady drive home. Well done for braving the elements.

Son Daniel arrived late last night and we've been back up Cairngorm (where there is more snow) and decided to stay until Sunday.
We waved at the Loch Morlich webcam and took a screenshot. Oh and got some pics of a red squirrel! (Better ones from the camera once I get home)
