Boxing Day Walk by jamibann

Boxing Day Walk

Our son was keen to do a 'decent' walk whilst he is up in Scotland, and yesterday was really the only weather window. We drove just up past Braemar to 'the Baddoch' and climbed An Socach - a good Munro for a winter's day as the walk in is not too long and it is do-able within 6 hours. We were rewarded with a beautiful walk in lovely winter conditions. A bit blustery and cold on top, but a good reminder about the effect of wind chill.

Weather today is atrocious again, so let's hope he gets back down to London on the train without too many hitches.
It looks fabulous and sounds as if you had a wonderful walk together. Crossing fingers for the return trip back home

I love it when the tufts of grass appear in the snow. Definite eye on the weather at the moment.

Such a good day for walking yesterday but I bet none had as good a view as this! A proper walk. We went out too, Harry overbalanced looking at planes & I had a heck of a job getting him up out of the ditch!!🤣🤣🤣🤣. He’s OK though! No drink involved!

That looks lovely and so nice to be able to make the most of these little opportunities. .
Today is appalling weather! We set off to Aberdeen taking an elderly friend to ARI for a bone scan....three miles and a LOT of water and we turned for home. Who knows what it might have been like by coming home time 😳

What a view. Looks like the wind has whipped the snow into peaks and valleys like meringue atop a pie.
