A Christmas walk up Craigellachie

Craigellachie 496m

We expected a wet walk but as it was it wasn’t so bad. I have wanted to go up Craigellachie ever since we moved up here and now we have! As expected fantastic views of Aviemore and the Cairngorms. The ridge is longer than we thought with good views down the other side to Loch Alvie. It was an interesting spur down to the village – interesting. Then back home to cook the Christmas dinner…lovely day
