Parked up at the Creag Meagaidh Nature reserve car park at 10pm. Usual routine of back seats down, sleeping mat and sleeping bag laid out with my Kindle books keeping me going until sleep. It was a very still, clear night and the stars were amazing to see.
I woke at 6am with engine noise from a nearby camper van. I assume they were using the engine to get extra heat. As I discovered, it had been a pretty cold night, I crawled out of my sleeping bag to find the car windows around me covered in ice and frost.
Having forced myself out of the warm sleeping bag, I was ready and walking by 7:30am.
