Castlehill Reservoir - where the car is parked |
I'm not going to post much about the forthcoming trips other than briefly record the day out with a few photographs.
The view to Whitewisp Hill from just below the cairn on Tarmangie Hill |
We had a grand day (18km) in spring sunshine, birds singing, shadows drifting over the hillsides.
Northwards the hills are plastered and gullies would be death on a stick I reckon. That said, if the mood takes us we might just take a drive further north and have a day on sunlit snow.

Very reflective. I like it. Glad your getting over the bug Gibson. Must have been bad to need antibiotics.
Enjoy your week. Just the odd name on a photo would give us a clue to your location though.
Good point re captions Alan. Thanks for that. Just back from another day out in superb sunny weather so we are glad we didn't bother going anywhere with the 'van.
Aha!
I've arrived after the captions have been added.
:-)
Good to see you're better. We're off to Aviemore at the start of April. I expect there will be snow. This is very bad of Scotland, it really is. We Softy Southerners aren't used to the white stuff. Could you have a word with that nice Mr Salmond? I'm sure he could arrange for the snow to melt.
Hello there Mr S. Lots of snow but it starts quite high at - around 600m a few weeks ago - but may be higher now. Mr Salmond will no doubt claim he can melt the snow against all evidence to the contrary. He might even publish a 'white' paper on it but it will be fiction like his last one :-)
Enjoy Aviemore or at least the hills in the vicinity - might bump into you, who knows. It's a stunner here today so we are off on a walk to lovely Glen Bee.
We now have a route - starting at Newtonmore on the morning of the 2nd April and heading into the Monadh Liath for a three day backpack finishing in Aviemore.
It would be great to bump into you, Sir!
:-)
Hi Alan. Noted :-)
