Last but one day

Coming out of Glen Lee yesterday. Leaving the big hills as I get nearer the coast. No rain but a strong following wind. M


Spent last nite at Tarfside t the top of Glen Esk. Back 2 civilisation! What storms? What ash cloud?

Picture is river Esk. Followed the river down to Edzell, & am in a campsite now, no more wild camps & bothies! Only 5 miles from the sea. M
