It had been left there by previous campers. The site looked like it was used regularly by horse packers.

I'm always thrilled to see bits of old, treasured but long lost gear being used. <br /><br />I'm sure I've seen this photo before - does it feature in one of your earliest books "The Great Backpacking Adventure"? <br /><br />I bet you don't have that big yellow mug anymore.<br /><br />Regards<br />Dave Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03276366235655727607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-73764432696211161282012-04-27T09:26:03.696+01:002012-04-27T09:26:03.696+01:00Is it okay to have campfires on wild land in the U...Is it okay to have campfires on wild land in the UK?Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347457602246280811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-23297290423962086122012-04-26T16:14:15.586+01:002012-04-26T16:14:15.586+01:00agreed, it is a great photoagreed, it is a great photoMartinhttp://www.martinblack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-11184289274411709812012-04-26T10:12:29.172+01:002012-04-26T10:12:29.172+01:00Hi Chris,

The colours of your shirt match the colours of the background smoke (lovely)and I can almost feel the heat from those orange flames (we daren't touch them). You look weathered and tired. Is there a bear lurking in those trees, ready to bounce?<br /><br />And your youthfulness, captured in a blink of an eye, a reminder of all our youthfulnesses, left Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347457602246280811noreply@blogger.com
