Cracking day for it, feel inspired to get out and do the circuit

A great monday evening run !!?!!

[@MelThorburn]

Well done. I have to admit the Cairngorms do nothing for me compared to the mountains of the west. And that’s from someone who spent my 80s schooldays skiing them every winter.

Thanks for watching. Yes, the Cairngorms are more like rounded hills compared to the west coast mountains, but it's the forests around here that are special for me. Living with the Rothiemurchus forest on my doorstep means I get out running a few times a week whatever the weather, I literally just have to step out the house and cross the road, for me that makes it all worthwhile.
