Field work half-time for #BEN_EAF! ⛰️

We took small and larger soil samples from whom hashtag#SoilFauna will be heat-extracted in the soil lab at the Aberdeen campus of the #JamesHuttonInstitute. This is mainly springtails (#Collembola), mites (#Acari), and hopeful more small critters!

Further, we did also collect the soil fauna from the pitfall traps: mainly ground beetles (#Carabidae), wolf spiders (#Lycosidae), and harvestmen (#Phalangiidae). 🕷️🪲

Thanks again to Andrea Britton and Debbie Fielding for the help in the field work!

9 years ago today I took this pic on the slopes of Cairn Lochan, the idea was two people in a big landscape.
It was only later that I realised there were 2 more people visible coming down off Braeriach in the distance on the left.

Needs a click.

#Cairngorms #ScotWinter #CairnLochan #Braeriach

Flood plain be flood plaining.

Normally there is a lochan way over there on one side, and the River Spey way over there on the other.

First hill walk of the year, Geal-charn Mòr 824m, our local Corbett*.

Everyone else's pics from above the inversion have sunshine and blue skies. We climbed above the freezing fog of the inversion to find ... damp fog. But it's always a decent walk, even without the spectacular views of the bigger Cairngorms hills.

*Corbetts - the Scottish hills between 2500 and 3000ft, in old money.

Happy Old Year's Day, Happy Hogmanay, and Happy New Year when it comes.

Some earlier ones:
1. 2016, Ryvoan.
2. 1981, Ben Alder from Culra.
3. 1977 Coire an Lochain, although Hogmanay itself was at the Shelter Stone.
4. 1978, Lairig Ghru, trying (& failing) to get to Corrour from the Sinclair Hut.

A slushy white Christmas Eve Eve on the Speyside Way this morning. Best wishes from Moray and us.

@Snoweider Moray reclaiming the golf course from the golfy people.

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).

Moray actually looking at me when I ask him to. So just had to post the pic haha.
Happy New Year from Moray and us.

#ThrowbackThursday
Not got any hill pics in the recent snow, so a few with Moray from past winters in the Cairngorms:

- Bynack More
- Cairn Lochan
- Meall a'Bhuachaille
- Sgòr Gaoith

Moray's favourite bit of the golf course. As far as he is concerned, they named it after him 😎🐾🐾
#Aviemore #Cairngorms #Snow #ScotWinter #DogsOfMastodon #Kelpie #HikingWithDogs

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.

@im the Cairngorms should definitely on your travellist if you travel to Scotland. They are beautiful, the A93 through the Cairngorms is one of the most beautiful roads we ever travelled.

First sub-zero frosty walk of the winter. And the #MountainEquipment duvet jacket commences its 45th winter of operations.
