Who needs a map when the signage is this good


A lovely day to be out on the hills. Not too hot and lovely sunshine with a nice breeze. Perfect really.  There is hardly any water left in the lochans at Coire Sneachda, never seen it so dry. Despite the lack of rain and hot temperatures, the Cairngorms are looking very green and in full summer colours. Twice today I had folk following me from a well marked trail into boulder fields (I was doing some photography)! One French couple asked me why there aren't any signposts and which way was it to Cairn Gorm from a boulder field under the Fiacaill Buttress! You can soon loose everyone (rather than yourself?)  and it was lovely and peaceful up on the plateau.
