There were no castles on yesterday's walk, but a group of very remote, no longer habited, farm houses.
We cycled up to Morven Lodge on our mountain bikes yesterday, then hiked up Morven hill, and and cycled back home. A great way to cover 27km, avoiding a long walk in and out on dirt track. Cheating a bit, but still hard work. Our bikes were tied up in the patch of Larch trees you see on the left of the image. Morven hill is not in this image, but is to the right.
Heading out again today into the Cairngorms - this beautiful weather is too good to miss and it's not set to last. It's only January after all.
Fantastic landscape! Thank you for taking me to all these beautiful places I would never get to! I always wonder what the stories are when I see deserted houses like this.
Well that’s very sad to see those farmhouses derelict like that. Four of them so near too.....I expect there were some families brought up in there quite basically years ago....how times & expectations change. No fog where you are then!
@radiogirl Practically no snow so far this year (like last year). It's devastating for our small ski resorts. We were up at 1100m yesterday, and there's only patches of snow in gullies, even there.
No Snow?
