We've been coming to this site, pretty much annually (although sometimes twice a year), for 25 years now and the fantastic thing is that it doesn't change a bit! That's the beauty of this place. Oh yes, there was a period when John replaced the waterpoint taps for push ones, but Ross put the conventional ones back a few years later. And there's now a reassuring sign at the Pillars junction ... but that's about it. The wardens that are given this site are always special people - they always understand the members who come here and are ready to engage and chat, but keep away at other times. The current incumbents, Ross and Gina, and very, very nice and helpful people. This site is special. It's difficult to get to, but worth every mile. The weather changes almost by the minute and one can get four seasons in a day easily. The colours of the hills change with the angle of the sunlight. The pace of life slows. All is well. Until the wind drops and the midges come out of course, and then things are NOT well ... but the wind gets up again fairly soon and they go back to the grass! If you like fishing, it's perfect; if you like walking, it's perfect too. If you like history, it's surround by ancient (and not so ancient) "happenings" with are fascinating to look out. We don't really go for any of those things - we go because it's just lovely!
