Just before this shot was taken we met our first hunters who’d actually bagged something, was only a grouse though. It’s now gun hunting season here in the states, so we’re hearing a lot more rifle fire in the distance, sometimes even machine guns, which doesn’t seem very sporting. Thankfully no bullets have zipped through the woods near us yet, you may notice that paul has lashed an orange vest to the back of his rucksack to make him look less like an Elk!
