Black Isle

Today we packed our lunch and went off to The Black Isle and Cromarty to search for Geocaches. We had a good day and found seven but visited too many sites where we “DNF”.

Came back to Dingwall Campsite to play Rummikub – three, nil, nil to me.

We were looking for Pokemon and Geocaches and both of these took us to some out if the way places in the city we had not seen before.

The boys are using the Birds Head tent, I have my MSR Hubba.

Set up and we have already had a cup of tea. The weather yesterday was not great, it rained overnight and was foggy this morning – now it is great again, in the low twenties.
