Nice Day Up Clochnaben

We took our bikes and rode to the woods to get the boring walk in out of the way. It was hot
(25c), yes Scotland gets like this occasionally.




Aoum took the "short cut" through the jungle. ;)


Oh, Yeah.


Climbing in short sleeves in October no less.


Note the midges in the sunlight = no wind


Onwards and upwards

Glenshee (The Cairnwell and Carn Aosda)

Just a quick Sunday walk. After hurricane force winds (100 mph) on Saturday and the first snows of the season, we thought we'd go up and have a look. Here is what we found.


Top of the Cairnwell Chair


Cute single seaters


Hard to walk without swinging your legs


Cairn Aosda and snowy Cairngorns behind


View down into the parking area.

Steep but short climb


Beautiful day. (Can't see the wind in photos)
