A Fort William night

The bus rolled into Ft. William late in the afternoon and rain was falling. We dragged our packs into the Morrison's supermarket, ate lunch and waited the rain out. Then we scouted out camping spots and decided to hike up the valley to Ben Nevis and camp along the river. We found a splendid spot next to some wild raspberries and mushrooms and had our first night of peacefull camping. Adam sliced a hole in the bottom of the tent with his razor knife while dismembering his holey shoes to harvest leather for patches. Too bad the leather couldn't be used to patch the hole. We found a sticky patch at the local camp store the next morning.
