It was a smashing spot Sarah but I just couldn't settle that night. I don't know why, my head was wrong! 😭

Hiya mate, sorry to hear your pal is not well. And yes a fair camp but shame about the concerns during the night. Nice looking beers though. ATB to you. 🍺🏕️

the view is really cool, bro

Thanks. Beautiful place

Another nice camp spot Phil. Sorry about the car issue. Its always a bit of a worry leaving your car in remote spaces, but touch wood i have never had any problems. Ground still looks sodden. The weather has to improve....right ?

[@PhilWaud]

It has got to surely? I was up Kinder this week and experienced stepping into a knee deep peat bog - not pleasant! Still great fun though!

[@user-ig8mq8eq4r]

Nice cooking setup

[@PhilWaud]

Thanks - I really like the simplicity of an alcohol burner and this Phantom is the biz!

[@hannahwaud1098]

[@PhilWaud]

He is the on the mend, definitely. Thanks for your comment. X
