Loch an Eilean



It was a sunny morning and we had tickets for the Cairngorm Mountain Railway so set off for Glen More but it became obvious that a trip up Cairn Gorm would be wasted as the tops were clouded over. We walked a familiar and favourite low level walk from Colyumbridge to this lovely loch and along to the start of the famous paths through the Cairngorm mountains before heading back through the ancient Caledonian Woods towrads Colyumbridge.

These forests provide the backdrop to The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe plus many nature programmes featuring osprey, wildcats, capercaille, eagles etc. So watch Auntumn Watch next week because the forests are on again!

Sadly we saw only people as it is a popular easy walk and any wildliofe would be well hidden in this part of the forest.

It has been a week of activity; cycling, horse riding (me), running (Ralph) and walking. The garden is all dug and the only jobs are house jobs which we are not so good at getting done.

Lots of photos though as Ralph has a new camera. He may need a little practice yet.
