Now in The Cairngorms

Yes Cyril is with us now the weather has improved.

Two hours walking in the sun to Slaggan Bay. Some of us decided to cool off.

Oh my word, are our eyes deceiving us?

Oh no....

Oh yes!!!

The locals were not amused so they decided to leave.

Visited the Osprey Centre at Loch Garten.
Female on tree to right and two chicks in the nest on the left.

The Cairngorms.
On advice we went on a guided walk with the Head Ranger to benefit from his knowledge of the flora and fauna.

A short break before tackling the ridge you can see above us.

Still going up.

Views from the top at 1125m.



On the way down. Six hours of walking but what a sense of achievement.

Next day recovering. Waiting at the station before taking a steam train journey.

  1. ---- my God! an Ursula Undress moment followed by a Great White - no wonder she didn't stay in long ! I see that the less brave of the squirrels decided that grazing at the back of the beach was a safer option.
    - isn't it about time Cyril had a mankini.
