The campsite near Silver Peak, north east of Thunder Island




I remember, it was difficult to get up much enthusiasm for foraging in our stay here, as the Silver Salmon Inn served such delicious food., but we did collect seaweed and birds eggs; and even trapped a small rabbit one day. We'd wondered if being so close to the marsh would be an issue with biting insects, but the strong westerly wind meant that we weren't othered at all. We didn't manage to catch any salmon in that river, but both the rivers had plenty of small, darting fish, which we deemed too bony to be worth cooking. 

I enjoyed our camping here, but something about the place fascinated Henry, he went back several times a year without me; and of course, it was from here that he went missing, six years ago now.
