It’s getting on for lunchtime, or so Kane’s stomach tells him. His watch says it’s only eleven, though. Must be all the fresh air and exercise. He’s absolutely Hank, but determined not to break into his packed lunch until Sendak gives the order.

They have just cleared the treeline, climbing towards a plateau, from which they have a view down into the valley between it and the larger Ben Trochart. He can see a river snaking through moorland where it isn’t swallowed by forest, snow-capped peaks in the distance beyond. There are no roads to be seen, no buildings, not even cultivated fields: no visible evidence of human settlement.

‘It’s beautiful,’ Heather says. ‘Makes you feel . . . I don’t know . . .’

‘Insignificant,’ Kane suggests.

‘I was going to say inspired.’

‘How about blessed?’ asks Blake.

He and Kane share a glance: touché.

‘It is beautiful,’ agrees Sendak warmly. ‘It’s also cold, cruel and extremely unforgiving if you don’t treat it with respect.’

Heather fixes both Kane and Blake with a warning stare.

‘First one to make a female comparison gets a boot in the peas.’
