Yesterday's Walk with Ballater Walking Festival

Yesterday we were helping to guide a walk around Clais Fearnaig, near Braemar. It's a walk we've done often and is about 15 km, with no real climbs - so, fairly straightforward. There was a bit of drama when a lady fell on a stony landrover track. She was very stoic and picked herself up, dusted herself off, and despite the egg on her head insisted on carrying on with minimum fuss. Very admirable. There was a really interesting group of people, and it was nice to see some foreigners in the group - 2 Americans and 3 French. We also met a couple who's son had been at university in Sheffield with ours! Small world. Very mixed weather; wind, rain and sun.

I like all the colours of their clothes and packs

Love to see a line of coloured walkers along a path like this......unless they are in front of me and then I try to overtake or choose another route LOL

[Babs]

Looks like a school outing all walking single file, ha ha. Sorry to hear one of the group was injured.

[Judith Johnson]

Looks great I bet you made good leaders. Did you practice your French?

[LManning (Laura)]

Terrific composition and POV. I love the contrast of the coloured jackets and packs with the subtle tones in the hillsides.

[Tunia McClure]

Some of the backpacks look pretty big.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice pov of this long walk

[Pat Knowles]

I love the colours here against the more somber background….a very cool procession of walkers! We have a walking festival in Garstang the first week in May…over 40 walks but I have never been on any.
Our grandson was at uni in Sheffield too!

Oh, that sounds like a walk I might be able to do IF I ever get there! I l would love to be at the end of this line heading to that water. It looks beautiful!

[Kathy]

This looks like an easy walk compared to the photos of the walks you've posted in the past.

Great shot of the walking group!

It looks like a wonderful place to walk with views around the corners.
