Camping in Perthshire

Here I am at Invermill campsite on the outskirts of Dunkeld after what was our first - and last because it's the end of the expedition season - night of actual camping in 2013. I have been in lodges or the Baronial Hall at Bonaly for the other expeditions. The last time that we went camping was at Sandwood Bay in July 2012 so it has been a while. I was a bit worried about October being cold but actually it was perfectly warm in our little tent, and James did all the pitching and setting up so it has been very relaxing. We are right beside the river which is a very pretty setting and I loved listening to the water flowing over the rocks as I was falling asleep. I have had a delicious breakfast of slightly burnt porridge with blueberries and raspberries and plenty of hot coffee. The pupils are all very positive. The weather is a pleasant mix of clouds and blue sky, I feel well rested and ready for the day of walking ahead.
