Tracks
Tracks in the snow that had settled on the frozen loch.
Walking
Aviemore
To beat the weather I got to Scandinavian Village before check in, so leaving my car at the centre I went for a walk near Aviemore.
To get away quickly this morning I had a pot of tea for breakfast whilst loading the car – so here is the required cook breakfast photograph – all good trips include a full English but in this case it is a full Scottish!
The Birks of Aberfeldy
I drove into Aberfeldy today – my car has sat in the car park since Saturday at minus temperatures so I thought I had better de-ice it. I also needed to get a reliable phone signal as my iPhone SIM had developed a fault and I needed T-mobile to fix it. This also meant I could get a latte and walk out to the Birks of Aberfeldy just outside the village.
Robert Burns walked here.

Ice
This was shot using the Camera+ app – it is a great app for getting an precise exposure.

Tay Forest pt2
The sunny day gave some great views and added extra highlights to the snow shots. Many of the paths though were really muddy – and some would be best described as streams – it shows how much rain there has been.

I had lunch at the Black Rock view point – above the view at lunch
there was a lot of logging activity in the forest – it meant changing my planned route several times but it did supply some material to photograph
I could not post this last night as I had no 3G signal and I have given up on Diamond Resort’s Swisscom Internet. At first I put it down to local conditions but as it persisted this morning I called T-mobile, free from my phone (150), to see if they could help. I had to then pay a reasonable 25p to talk to the support staff but after a couple of minutes discussing the issue with him, he updated the service to my phone – I rebooted it – and it was back on 3G. I have no idea why this happened but the help I got from T-mobile was first class – and I was pleased to let them know this via the text they later sent me.
