Diana and I got home last night, she has bookings for Monday but I still have a weeks leave left so this morning I set off camping. I am going to spend two nights here on the edge of the Peak District and then off to Wales.
noodles and Chai tea
We have stopped off in the Lake District for a coffee, on our way back from Scotland.
I have phoned the boys to remind them to tidy up, clean the kitchen and do the washing up before Diana and I get home!
I got out before 8am yesterday – walking whatever the weather.
looking back at Scandinavian Village
I headed out from Scandinavian Village across the Rothiemurchus Estate to Loch an Eilein. Looped around the Loch and came back in the Old Logging Trail.
The rain showers stopped after a couple of hours and let the midges come out – but that did not stop it being a good walking day.
The breeze picked up just enough in the afternoon so when I stopped for tea the midges were kept away.

There was only one way to describe the weather at the Cairn Gorm Mountain Centre – wintery. It was a good excuse for a hot chocolate in the cafe – and a chance for another person serving us, to tell us how nice the weather has been over the last few weeks. However I am getting some dramatic photos.
