Day 8
Friday 15 May 2009 - Winter returns with a vengence - Ruighaiteachain to Linn of Dee (ish)
It started raining in the morning and more on than off all day. There was a bitter cold, strong North wind and all the walking for the day was into this very cold, wet environment.

It was not a pleasant tramp that day. I eventually stopped at Red House for a cup of soup and met Alan Jordan, who had camped near to me at the bothy last night. We ended up walking together to a sheltered spot at 057897, not far from the Linn of Dee. This was down a bank towards the river and beneath a canopy of trees. It was reasonably sheltered from the wind and rain. Rain that dripped from the trees hit the tent like bullets. The hard driving rain seemed to come down in sheets as I looked out from the comfort of my tent.
The wind and rain continued all night.
