Isle of Arran, Sunday, 30th October, 2022
***
***
Difficult though it was to tear ourselves away,
one instinctively knows when it is time to leave…
***
***
The weather window which had swung
open as we approached the moor
was showing unmistakable
signs of again swinging shut.
***
***
The exhilaration with which we had initially
greeted the stones was now giving way
to a desire to avoid an inevitable drenching.
***
***
As the clouds gathered
we went into re-wind mode at a pace…
***
***
Still snapping merrily
and snaffling what we could in retreat…
