Cairngorm


We took a quick trip up to Cairngorm on my birthday the 12th of October.

We took Munch up.

It was her first journey on the Funicular. It was a coldish day with +0.5degrees up the top.



Loch Morlich was looking stunning and I took the chance to ride my push bike down from the Carpark at Cairngorm down to Aviemore. It was a great day out. Happy Birthday me.

Biking in October Sun

Got a chance to get outdoors this morning. The sun was shinning and I wanted to go up to Deuchny woods and try and get a decent route sorted out I could do regularly.

From the Jubilee Carpark I headed up towards the Downhill track but stayed clear of that craziness. It lead up to great forest trails down parallel with the River Tay before bending back towards Scone.


There really is some great single track up there too.


It is all signposted and with a bit of imagination you can get an awesome figure of 8 route with enough uphill to keep you fit, enough single track to keep you on the ball, and enough downhill to keep you entertained.

It was a great Autumn morning. The colours are not quite changing yet but I'm sure it won't be long as the temperature has definately dropped. I also got to see a couple of red squirrels too.
