It's been a very long time since I've been backpacking, so long I can't remember when I last went. Seems I only go wild camping from the kayak these days. When a friend put out an email asking if anyone wanted to join her on a trip to Ben Alder I thought "why not". We had three glorious days hot, sunny and no midges, what more could we have asked for.
I really enjoyed myself and can't think why I've stopped doing it. Trouble is kayaking, skiing, climbing and backpacking there's just so much to do and so little time.
