Saturday 14th November: We poodled around in the morning and finally got round to packing up the motorhome. We were finally ready to leave about lunchtime, then drove to Lake Aviemore. The boys had brought along their bikes and were keen to go on the bike jumps they had enjoyed last year.
There was one family we knew there and the boys soon made friends with other kids with bikes. This left Steve to go fishing and me to read a book. Bliss! While Steve was fishing the wind became stronger and was coming in strong gusts. One of them blew so hard we laid down flat on the ground and protected our head as the large tree blocking most of the wind came apart and the branches flew over us and landed in the lake behind us. Incredible! Steve caught a good size fish and then smoked it for tea, so I didn't have to cook either.
Before long it was getting dark and cooling down and it was time to settle down for the night.
The photos are a view of the lake from where Steve was fishing, him with dinner, and a patch of lupins growing around where the caravans and tents are camped.
