Anyone seen an old woman?

Today was full of high adventure. Me and the wee man headed for Balmaha and took a boat across to Inchcailloch - a heavily forested island on Loch Lomond. The boat dropped us at the east side of the island and we hiked, with full rucksacks over to Port Bawn on the west side of the island where we set up camp for the night. This is an uninhabited island but does have an old burial ground - which help with the camp site ghost stories.

So we spent the afternoon swimming, playing football and eating sausages and beans - until the heavens broke and we were subject to a 13 hour downpour complete with thunder and lightning. It all added to the camping experience and the wee man coped admirably - thanks to his emergency pack of Top Trumps!

Here he is in all his glory, with our small, wet shelter for the night.
