Special visitors and special drinks…

After a long day on the river, from above the washing machine, through Knockando, Aberlour and beyond, we make it to our final camping spot on the River Spey.

Ray snook off to ferry Alan and Mhairi across the river and we managed to get them into camp before Kevin knew what was going on. What followed was a wonderful evening around the campfire, full of the warmth of friendship…
