We've spoken of camping at Mermaid Falls for years so it was wonderful to finally do it. We slept under an overhang. We'd checked and there was no fire ban so we built a little fire after dark to cook our sausages. Suddenly there was a mighty whirring sound and three large drones descended from the sky and circled directly above us. Gavin, who hates being in trouble with the authorities, was an immediate wreck. We checked the fire situation and had not got it wrong. After a few minutes, the drones disappeared into the sky and never heard from them again. What a weird experience! Goes to show, there's no more privacy, even in the remote wild.
