Narnain Boulders

October 11, 2017

An excerpt of a recording I made whilst sheltering under the Narnain Boulders on route to The Cobbler/Ben Arthur in Scotland. We had terrible weather and had to turn back in the end as visibility was so poor.

Another snippet from my recent trip to Scotland with @oswald808 (who also took these great pictures). We were trying to climb the Cobbler but had to turn back as the weather was pretty bad and visibility was low. This recording is from a huge rock we'd taken shelter under during heavy rain. Also sheltering there were the poshest family ever. It was like being in the middle of a Radio 4 drama about hiking. I was also cursing them because they wouldn't shut up! So I didn't get any recordings of the heavy rain. #fieldrecording #scotland #hiking #thecobbler #rain #drips #drops
