Cairngorms

We've just had a weekend in the Cairngorms.....and we had snow which was good since we were up there to help a friend who's brushing up on her mountain skills for a looming winter mountain leader assessment.  Here's a few photographs from the trip - some taken on my phone so the quality isn't great.

Reindeer just wandering past us...amazing.
then they got inquisitive....and came even closer.
 
me being assisted up the steep bit thanks to Caroline's kick steps and Mike's helping hand

Me all togged up against the cold.

Going through the Chalamain gap - boulders strewn everywhere and covered in snow and ice


The Lazy Duck Hostel - highly recommend this place if you're ever near Aviemore

Sunlight through the trees from the drive up to the hostel

Red squirrel!!

In my element - cooking curry on the wood burning stove
