| Right on cue for my group |
On Sunday I met up with a lovely group of folk from the USA and Switzerland who are on a week long trip in the Highlands. Guiding for Walkabout Scotland this week we travel and get to walk in a good chunk of Scotland in a short space of time. From the Cairngorms to Skye to Fort William. On Sunday we had a very easy stroll along the Speyside Way from Boat of Garten back to Aviemore with the added attraction of riding the Speyside Railway.
Monday saw us exploring the high Cairngorm plateau with a walk along the Northern Corries. The group had their first experience of a Cairngorms Breeze. 45mph winds on the tops. They all did a brilliant job coping in our weather.
Today was a travel day along the gorgeous Kyle line from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh. One of the great railway journeys in the world. It was wet in Aviemore when we set off but by the time we arrived in Kyle it was very warm and sunny. The day ended with a glorious sunset witnessed from Kyleakin. The average age of my group on this trip is 72. What a fit, fun and enthusiastic group of folk.
