A lil 24 hour adventure! I’d arrived with my big 3.5x3.5 tarp and a plan to make a cosy nook in an old stone hut house in the mountains that I'd found on the map But, I found the lil house half collapsed and worrying that the rest of it might collapse on me during the night, I decided to carry on looking for somewhere else to camp On my way I came across a river, with the water pouring over a rocky overhang like a curtain that you could go behind. I played in the cool water before heading into the forest on the other side of the river The forest was lush and green with patches of bluebells and a chorus of cuckoo. I wasn't exactly sure what to do with my unwieldy and massive tarp, but I managed to erect a nice lean to using a ridge-line and my trekking pokes, with the most beautiful views I settled down for my tea, watched the sun set behind the mountains, and tried out my new gas canister lantern (love it, so cosy!) The sky grew dark around midnight and the stars came out, covering the sky like glitter. I fell into a deep and lovely sleep and woke to the sunlight peeking rounded the tarp and the cuckoo doing its thing I lingered here a while, soaking it all up. The day was warm, and after packing up and hiking down, I crossed the river and found a nice pool to have a proper dunk in before lunch in the sun Gear List
