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!
