Description: Looking down towards the river Dee from near the top of Ben Macdui. The snow was gone, I found the place this time. Spent three hours crawling about examining the ground, looking for phenakite. Came back with one tiny piece which weighed about 2 grams, and it wasn't really good enough to be sure what it was! That was all I collected this day, apart from a 5cm strip of red skin where my shirt had ridden up my back from my shorts! Doh!
