After three hours and miles of trudging through the mire I eventually found the highlands in a pine, heather and birch munching loose roaming band.  I was perturbed as I had still not seen the big fellow, and he had not been seen by us for a few days, but from the top of a hill I spied him well away from his ladies and kids down in the thick bog myrtle where he could get a little peace from them.  I’m off home now with mud up to my knees, I did get stuck for a bit and thought id have to phone for help for a minute so watch it out there and don’t get bogged down by it all :->
The ponies were in the central grassy area grazing.
