Many mountains to climb
A nameless mountain, somewhere in the Southern Cairngorms. Front view, above. Back view below, after an hour of hard walking with a heavy rucksack.
Photos are from my daughter's Duke of Edinburgh Award Silver practice expedition at the end of June. Practice - the real thing is in October. Brrr.
I love these cool, foggy photos, especially as you know I am facing another scorching desert day.
ReplyDeleteCould you talk a little more about the Duke of Edinburgh Award Silver practice expedition sometime? Sounds interesting.
What a hike! It looks so desolate. How far to the nearest town?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful challenge for your daughter and stunning country.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Linda and I hope your summer is going well.

I'm not sure how far this was to the nearest town. My daughter is in France just now, so I can't ask her. It might be about 10 miles or so to Braemar, a very small town. One of the beauties of Scotland is that you can get into wild country very quickly.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely photos, but it does look like it will make for a rough, chilly climb in the Fall!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great mountain, there must be a wonderful view from the top.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hike these mountains!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful sights. I am reading a book about Scotland. This helps me picture it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my sky !
You have some great pics here, really great.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
