  1. A planning application has been submitted for a 9km active travel route between #Aviemore and #Carrbridge, designed for #walking, #cycling, and #wheeling. The route will provide a safer, more direct connection and integrate with existing local routes. Following public feedback, the plans include a signalised crossing of the A95 at #Granish. #Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary Fiona Hyslop highlighted the commitment to promoting active travel in #Scotland, emphasising the collaboration with Cairngorms National Park Authority, The #Highland Council, and Sustrans. The route will offer safer, accessible travel for all ages and enable circular trips between Aviemore, Carrbridge, and Boat of Garten using the Speyside Way.

  2. "Right, that's me away to the shops - teabags, milk, rolls, and I'll not forget the washing-up liquid, see you in four hours darling" #snow #huskies #sledge #huskyrally #aviemore

  3. 2 day trek with overnight camp with Moray this past weekend.

    #Newtonmore to #Aviemore over the high ground of the #Monadhliath, #Cairngorms National Park, #Scotland. Still hot and sunny at times, so lots of stops for rests and rehydration.

    Lots of ups and downs, lots of peat bog and groughs, but some easy walking on great short vegetation.

  4. A black and white world for today's #StandingStoneSunday.

    Aviemore 'Clava' cairn; the remains of a kerbed cairn (which likely had a central mound and chamber), surrounded by a free-standing stone circle. It's in a neat little suburban setting now, with glimpses of the Cairngorm mountains beyond.

    This visit March 2011.

  5. Pretty bad on the A9 headed south going up Drumochter - we sat queued in falling snow for about thirty mins before turning our little car around for fear it wouldn't have snow clearance if we waited much longer. Traffic sitting on the road for miles, back past Dalwhinnie. Forty minutes later, the season's most hard-earned gingerbread latte. Stay safe out there folks!

  6. First snow in Aviemore, first snowy walk of the winter. Through the local woods to Loch Vaa with Moray.

    The tiny island in the last pic is the location of a crannog (a defended dwelling place built over the water on stilts, several thousand years ago).

  7. A suburban setting for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering;

    Aviemore cairn and stone circle in the Scottish Highlands. A monument of the 'Clava' type, a kerb of stones enclosing a (now gone) burial cairn, with a surrounding stone circle. It's in a little suburban street now, but has views towards the Cairngorms.

    This visit October 2010.

  8. Scanning old slides, March 1981. Sleeper to #BlairAtholl, 2 day trek with overnight at #Corrour #Bothy, to #Aviemore, then sleeper home. I remember it was the weekend the clocks went forward, as I missed my intended train home because of that.
    A lot of water about, I remember a couple of interesting river crossings.
    I've got a long term plan to recreate this walk at some point.

  9. Moray's favourite bit of the golf course. As far as he is concerned, they named it after him 😎🐾🐾

  10. OK, a bit of a pathetic first snow, but enough for Moray's zoomies, and enough for the x/c skiers to get out. And we get the golf course back.
