A day and long night to remember! I set off about 3:45pm to climb this Corbett, I was en route to meet friends in Berwick Upon Tweed. It was a nice day on an excellent path so went super light hoping for a quick up and down. As it happened I ventured up the south path and was block by a barrier and note stating the path was dangerously eroded ahead, I didn’t fancy doubling back as it was late in the day so I took a direct line up a very steep line up Nether Tarnberry through Rough Craig’s and onto White Coomb . I had to keep Mila on the lead the whole way as there were many sheep and lambs about. At the top I let her off a while because no one or any sheep were about. I carried on to Donald’s Cleuch Head and was picking my way down when Mila took off! Late in the day with no torch, no phone charge and in only shorts and t-shirt I headed on down. I could hear her barking but despite calling she failed to appear. She’s getting older but I’ve never lost her in all the Munro’s and other hills we’ve done together. Any way I had to go down as it was getting dark and believed she would follow on in her own time. However, she did not! I spent a stressful night mournfully staring in to the night from the car park hoping she would return. It was a cold night and I fretted for her. At 7am my daughter and I were about to set off to look for what I thought would be my injured (or worst) companion. Who should appear on the horizon but Mila who had apparently bivied out that night! She was fine!
