Braemar

A delayed start to the journey - hadn't used my car in a while but left a light on inside so the battery was totally flat. whoops. Still, once we got up to Braemar (Rod, Kristy, Steve & I...Jo was on a yoga course) mum & dad had cooked us a legendary meal and we had a nice relaxed evening. Steve & I went on a mission the next day, hoping to climb Bhein a Bhuird, but the weather was pretty miserable. We biked up the Slugain, hid the bikes and started to slog up the mountain, but we were getting deeper in snow and already above cloud level so decided to go round a loop track instead. The wind was wild, and the rain was driving in our face, so definitely made the right decision! Still, a really fun day (in a masochistic kind of way).







Mum & dad took Rod & Kristy to Balmoral and did the Cairns walk, which they really enjoyed, and then they headed back down the road. We had a nice evening playing games and drinking G&Ts :) Sunday we went to the Linn of Dee and the Quoich and had a couple of walks before cleaning up and heading back. R & K were dressing up for a work night out, Rod is loving the kilt!!
