Fantastic night, great to be back out again to dust off the cobwebs! Here's to many more this year :)

Walking back towards the Glen River there was a big fallen tree right across the path. Scary enough!

We thought it hadn't been there the night before, must have been wrong.

Just wondering, when you say you passed it the night before, do you mean on your way to the camp.  I arrived at camp at 17:20 and walked the path in the dark.  I was 99.9% certain it wasn't there when I passed through, because I can't remember stepping over anything (and I was sober for the first time over the festive season).

Thinking it may have come down between 17:20 and roughly 21:30 when you arrived.
