We started walking . . .

From Auchallater . . .

and after an hour and 40 minutes we came to a bothy

Enlarge this to see the sheep and the bright red chimney

After a picnic we ambled around enjoying the views

And then took the narrow path southwards up onto the Munro

Then onward and upward

. . . on and up . . . stopping for sustenance and attention to feet on the way . . .

The summit of Carn an t-Sagairt Mor

It was warm, sunny, with blue skies and it felt magnificent.

We could see for miles and the clouds moved fast, obscuring and then revealing treasures like the cairn atop Lochnagar and the ski lifts at Glenshee

And the views on the way down . . .

Seemed all the more special . . .

and the walk back to the car took for ever.

We'd left it at 10am and returned to it at 6pm

Calm Still Waters

Evening in the Woods
