Another one!

One of the most wonderful aspects of living in the Highlands is the ease of leaving the house and being at the top of a hill in just a couple of hours. From Aviemore I can cycle off road virtually from my doorstep, along lovely forest trails and then a quick walk up to the summit of a Corbett. Today I left at 1pm from the house and was on the top of Meall' a Bhuachaille to watch a wonderful sunset over Loch Morlich and a grand stand view of The Northern Cairngorms. I even got to see an Golden Eagle on the way up the hill. There has been another sprinkling of snow over the mountains. There was a dusting on the last 100m of Meall a' Bhuachaille today. Whilst waiting for the sun to set the temperatures dropped like a rock and there was a biting, cold wind. Fabulous.
