February Zodiac Camp - Auchengillan, Queens View
Second camp of the year took us to the Auchengillan.
It was very cold and snowed a bit during the evening,
but we had a good fire to keep us warm.

| First we plants the seed, then we grows the seed, then we chops it down! |
Breakfast was Sultana Porridge with maple syrup and scrambled eggs |

 |
| We camped in Kiwi Hollow. It was below zero overnight |
But we had the main campfire to ourselves |
 |
 |
| We met some Highland garrons on route to Auchineden Hill |
