Superb pics Fairy . . . . . love the grouse ones. Great to see the deer too. The flora and fauna make a walk that much more interesting Weather man was right about the visibility too.
A rucksack of shingle is just a bit too heavy to carry
Not sure I'd have got much in the ruckie either Joyce....
the track is of historic interest too, as it's part of Jock's Road which goes right through to Glen Clova. Jock fought for the right to use the old drove road, when the new landowner of Glen Doll estate tried to ban all access. It led to the Scottish Rights of way Act in the late 19th century.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Missed your post there Lesley. Thank you. The conditions were perfect for walking - not too hot for the long, low level bit, a light breeze now and again, but plenty of sun and clear skies. Could have done with lip salve - my lips were a bit nippy when I got home!
The loch looked like this six months ago

What stunning views, they are amazing and look so tranquil, it is hard to imagine such vast spaces without a car, house or human to be seen. Yes the grouse are a lovely addition to fantastic pictures.
I know what you mean Liri. It felt high enough when I was heading up to the bealach in the sun though....
I think that hill, in particular, looks quite spectacular when it's got snow on it, even though it's not so exciting at the summit.
The Coire Kander, and the one between it and Tolmount, both look amazing when you walk up the glen. I thought of walking back along it, which is an option, but decided to go back the same way. You can't get near enough the edge of it for it to be a good photo opportunity anyway. It's the longest route to do that hill, but the most scenic.
Could have sat at the side of the loch for ages. It was heavenly.
This was the view from the other end looking back to the bothy.

Your lovely pictures have spurred me on to get out there today and enjoy the wonderful views we have - it was so peaceful, the sea was calm and it was shorts and t shirts warm weather. Thank you for sharing such inspiring pictures with us Fairygirl.
You're very welcome GD. Glad you enjoyed your walk too
I was tempted to have a paddle yesterday, but contented myself with lying beside the loch for a while, listening to the water gently lapping and the grouse squawking....
There are worse places to be on a sunny Saturday

Thanks Fairy - lovely photos to satisfy (a bit) my desire to be there... I especially like the two reflective ones. Utterly peaceful.
Why do the mountains look higher in the winter photos, I wonder?
