These are the hills on the Glenlivet Estate, near Tomintoul. Not the most inspiring as they are fairly featureless, but they give great views over to Ben Rinnes and to Ben Avon. They are also good winter walking hills as they are not too high. On Friday we had sleet on top but not too much wind. Visibility came and went, but was generally fairly good as you can see. John's bright green rucksack rain cover is handy as it gives a pop of colour.
Today is our golf club AGM (Ladies' Section) when I get to take over my role as Vice Captain to help my friend Frances as she takes over as Captain. Neither of us really wanted to do it, but needs must. There is not a big waiting list of people wanting to do it and everyone needs to take their turn! Maybe my golf will improve?!
Ooh good luck taking on Vice captain and captain rolls. Harder than walking the Munroes! I've managed to keep my head down so far. I've been a committee member and been on the Committee for regional golf and that's hard enough! unfortunately golfers are getting older and older with no new blood coming on board. We're finding it's the same few that are now expected to continue on forever!
On an aside, I'm coming back to Auchterarder for Christmas this year - with my husband. First Christmas in the UK for 26 years!
@yorkshirekiwi At least I have the Munros almost complete before I start! I think the golf club committee issues are the same everywhere! A Scottish Christmas for you? Lovely. We're heading to Madeira! A rare trip away from home for us at Christmas/New Year, but we're meeting the kids and partners there, so will almost be like home!
You reminded me that my rucksack has a rain cover, just that I have never had to use it ! We really need some rain here. Madeira does Christmas very well, enjoy your stay.
Funny how we all slink down in our seats when these jobs come up. I’m secretary at Lady Farmers & I just said before I went to NZ if nobody offers while I’m away I will do it….Guess what! 🤣. Good you are doing the job either way a friend but what do vice captains become…..Captains!
Love the way the mountain sides slope away to show the green valley.
@happypat Yes, I've been on the committee for 5 years already. 2 as Competition Secretary and 3 as Secretary. Now it'll be Vice for 2 and then, unless some other keen soul pops out of nowhere, it'll be Captain for 2! I'm in it for the long haul, I fear ... ;-)

Wishing you luck with your new job commitment and am sure it will be a piece of cake for you xx
