On the trail of the lonesome pine

Well, not exactly lonesome – there were hunerts o’ them. Pine Central, in fact.

 

Yes, yesterday’s wee stroll in the ancient Caledonian forest at Rothiemurchus.

My diminutive amanuensis, Buspassepartout, came up trumps again, and I was able to get a decent day with a change of scenery courtesy of National Express 588. Nothing too demanding – about 6 miles with virtually no up at all. Lovely scenery, dry if chilly weather, and a pleasant chat and skinny latte from the young lad at the cafe by the bridge.

Highly satisfactory

    1. It's not so much the distance as the hills that seem to trouble me at the moment

  2. That's all good, that. Never tire of Rothiemurchus photies.

    1. I understood that the cake was reserved for, i believe, Thelma and Louise.
