Knoydart Spring 1970

I recently wrote to Richard:

While looking through Papa’s slides, I found a box on which he had written Knoydart 1970. I enclose copies of three slides. The one with the flames was a defining moment. It was then that I realized that camping could be fun and even more fun if one put a camping gas canister into a driftwood fire and stood well back. I have not done it since but have often thought about it. With hind sight it was quite a hard trip as we had thin sleeping bags and were sleeping directly on the ground. I have been less cold sleeping on a mat on snow and it was freezing outside. The other two photographs tell their own stories.

When looking through the slides I was able to identify some people. I can see Brendan Skean, Paul Hawksworth, Fr. Michael and you although your antler disguise is something that I would expect to be straight out of some medieval sacrificial ritual to which only men might be invited.
