Gone
I have packed up this morning and I am moving onto the Camping and Caravan Club site on Skye.

I have moved onto Dingwall Camping and Caravan Club site and managed to get my MSR Hubba tent up in between the rain showers.
Oban Campsite
The Oban Camping and Caravan Club site is a converted walled garden.
It started raining last night at about 10pm and looking at the puddles on the grass, this morning, it has rained all night – I am posting this from a car park in Oban (with 3G) and it is still raining.
As I have 3G here I have posted a full sized version of the Loch Lomond panorama here.

I have some work to do for Octagon this afternoon so I am setting off for home early. But there was just enough time for a short walk.

The weather was variable today so I planned a short circular walk out into the hills and back through Hayfield – see here it shows all the weather in one photo.

It was a good walk the only problem was I could not find a cafe in Hayfield, several pubs and hotels none of them very inviting – all I wanted was tea and a sandwich, so I ended up just walking back to the camp site where I made my own sitting out in the sun shine.

It is a showery start to the day but managed to eat my breakfast outside the tent. The Hubba tent is really small so I have to be very organised to eat in it – it is much better to be able to get outside and eat.
It was freezing here at about midnight, the grass was crispy as I walked on it and the water on the fly sheet was frozen. This morning there was a dusting of snow in the high ridges I can see from Hayfields Camping and Caravan Club Site. I am planning to go walking today but at the moment the rain has me drinking tea in my tent and blogging!

I had just finished eating my dinner, whilst sitting outside, when there were a few raindrops. By the time I had got my gear inside the tent and had the door closed it was hailing hard.
I had per-packed food this evening, Salmon Moroccan style, with crackers and custard for dessert.
with a mug of tea as well – of course
The food was very good and I will be using these John West lunches on future backpacking trips. They weigh more than noodles but on wild camping trips I will not need to carry any water to rehydrate the meal so saving weight there.
