Thursday 3 July

After breakfast we set off to climb a nearby 400 metre peak, through heather and bracken, dotted with heath-spotted orchids, yellow bog asphodel and the insectivorous sundew. Overhead a sparrowhawk circled. From the hilltop the view over Jura was magnificent and, sillhouetted on a neighbouring ridge, we caught sight of one of Jura's 6000 red deer (30 for every one Jura inhabitant!). On the way down, we had a refreshing swim (at least Rob and Philip did) in one of the many little lakes.

Imram onboard mail.
