Once we had got the kayaks up above where we expected high water to be we unloaded our bags just as...
...the sun was setting.
A few midges came out as we were putting the tents up but fortunately the breeze increased just enough to stop them flying.
There was no sign of the fire Mike and I had made back in June and we set a new fire in the same place. It was nice having the heat of the fire while preparing our evening meal.
It was not just the fire that was glowing. Long after sunset the sky was too!
We decided that our new Helinox chairs were a fabulous addition to any camp fire!
Once the fire was well lit and...
...there were plenty embers we put the tatties in to bake.
We enjoyed our perfect baked potatoes in the twilight. The only sign of human activity was the Holy Island outer light and lights from a couple of fishing boats plying the Sound of Bute. All this, companionable conversation and no midges, we were certainly in heaven!
It was a great fire Douglas - again! Most companionable - and as I said at the time; the perfect relaxation therapy
