Scolty Hill- a wee stroll (Pic Heavy)

[kiltedpict]

Just thought I'd share some pics from my wander this morning.

Beautiful day here in the North East of Scotland as as I didn't get to the Cairngorms this weekend (awaiting new tyres for car and two poorly wee girls at home), my wife kicked my butt out of the door after breakfast...

I've gotten really unfit over the last couple of years, so although not a long walk, it's still good exercise, and it was a chance to play with the new Tripod I got for Xmas, as well as have a brew using my new Chinese stove.

Unfortunately, no brew as I didn't take a lighter, and was daft enough to believe my ferro rod would light poorly evaporating Aspen in the cold!

Anyways, it's all learning and here's some of the pics...

View towards Banchory (iPhone) - path steeper than it looks and got to use the YakTrak Pro's for the first time... ace!

Lochnagar & the Eastern Cairngorms (in the general direction anyways)

Hope you enjoy folks

Hi kp,nice pics,i,ve always fancied a wander round the Banchory area when i,m up working there,but i always seem to end up in the Dougie Arms or the Stag .

In fact we were there 2 weeks ago,baltic so it was.

Anyway nice pics as i say,i maybe need to try and get a wander the next time we,re there.

Cheers Stuart.

As an Aberdonian born and bred but now doing missionary work down in one of the colonies (England), you have just made me homesick. Looks great
