Not a cloud in the sky
It is a great day – I am walking the Speyside Way and geocaching, looking for a good place for lunch.

Inverness
I got a train into Inverness today, for some present shopping and geocaching.
One of the geocaches led me to a landmark I’d not seen before – The General’s Well – even though we regularly walk this footpath.

Walking to the summit of Craigellachie
The day started off mild and sunny here, so taking advantage of the sun I headed up Craigellachie – which overlooks Scandinavian Village. It is a fairly straightforward walk, but most of it is up until you reach the “flatish” summit.
I also made a mistake, yesterday was not my coldest day. The summit and approaches were still frozen and icy, add the wind chill from the strong steady wind and it was several degrees below zero. But sunny.
One benefit of a sub-zero summit was that the boggy, muddy path was frozen so no wet and muddy boots on my return.

Forest Walking Inverdruie
Looking at the weather forecast for the week today looks like to coldest day I will have – it was 1c when I went out at about 11am. It does not look like I will see any snow this trip – except this in Colchester last week.
I headed out to walk in the forest near Inverdruie and to get a geocache that the boys and I walked past last summer.
Here it is
It was easy today to find somewhere quiet to set up for lunch.
I wrote this whilst watching the Falcons playing Green Bay in the NFC Championship game – the Falcons and Matt Ryan have controlled the first half. I have my iPod hooked into the TV with the Apple HDMI adaptor, I also packed a 1m HDMI cable. Glad I am not at last week’s Hapimag Bowness timeshare as the wifi there was nearly nonexistent. I could not use my NFL Game Pass live there, I had to avoid the scores and downloaded the games offsite on better wifi. The wifi here at Scandinavian Village is great.
Here comes the second half.
