Inverness

River Ness

I got a train into Inverness today, for some present shopping and geocaching.

One of the geocaches led me to a landmark I’d not seen before – The General’s Well – even though we regularly walk this footpath.

Walking to the summit of Craigellachie

The day started off mild and sunny here, so taking advantage of the sun I headed up Craigellachie – which overlooks Scandinavian Village. It is a fairly straightforward walk, but most of it is up until you reach the “flatish” summit.

I also made a mistake, yesterday was not my coldest day. The summit and approaches were still frozen and icy, add the wind chill from the strong steady wind and it was several degrees below zero. But sunny.

One benefit of a sub-zero summit was that the boggy, muddy path was frozen so no wet and muddy boots on my return.
