Up the Livet and up the Fiddich
https://www.strava.com/activities/3604135290
A good little adventure, we set off at lunch time, which was maybe a little late! At first we headed up the usual track to Suie after that we were on new ground. We headed up the track that goes between Carn na Bruar and Cooks Carn. Cooks Carn is on my hit list! It was easier cycling than I thought it might be, we only had to get of and push for one short bit. Once at the top the ginormous wind farm came into view. We stopped beside one, it had started raining and we had only gone a quarter of the way. It was 4.30. Would we continue or would we go back? Kenny was very much wanting to continue ( I discovered afterwards that it was mainly because he didn’t want to have to ride up the hill again another day to complete the ride!! We followed the wind-farm tracks by passing Blackwater Lodge at a higher contour thus saving effort! and so quickly got the the river Fiddoch. We followed a lovely track up the river which was beautifully angled after the rain then came sun and later mist, before long we were at the watershed and back and Suie for a whizz back down to the car. A interesting little diversion up to Elf cave.
A great day out, back to Bubble Station Zebra for a pizza and bits and pieces tea

A walk from kenny’s to explore the River Livet for places to fish. We would have been poachers if we had caught anything.
We got very wet feet and legs in the long grass, saw lots of hares and other creatures.

After 9 weeks of lock-down we are finally able to walk or ride with a friend, I took advantage of this and went on a walk up Creagan a Chasie with Anne Marie. It was the highest of the Cromdale hills and a Graham. A few years ago Roger and I walked up to the ridge but it was at a time when he wasn’t so well and we decided to cut it short.
We set off from Cromdale and had a bit of road walking to do before we turned up a track to the hillside. Unfortunately a lot of farmers have been using lock-down to restrict access and we were confronted but signs saying no access. after some debate we decided to go round another way which involved a bit more on the road. This was the longest walk I have done for a while as as i was nursing a slightly upset Achilles I was very pleased with my performance. So good to be back in the hills again. My mountaineering days are not yet done!!

This is the prominent hill that over looks Loch Morlich, it is often dark when the Cairngorms are light or light when the Cairngorms are dark. I have always wanted to stand on the top and today I did.
I took my bike up the track up Gleann Eanaich and left it hidden in the heather just past the bridge. At first I thought I had made an error as the river was bigger than I remembered and I would not have been happy crossing it especially on my own in a lock-down! Luckily I remembered the bridge. At first the going was heathery and mossy but as the ground steepened it got easier and once ion the broad ridge the going was easy. The views were splendid. After a buttie and coffee I headed back the the bike and zoomed back home. Tired legs now but the longest lockdown day yet. pleased but missed my walking buddy Joe.

Today Kenny and I went on a little lock-down walk with our cameras. I took him up to Creag nan Gabhar and back along the new path though the birches and past the climbing crag.

Another Lock-down Ride

Kenny came to stay before his Aldi shop. I took him on the tour of Loch Morlich which included the new single track that I found last week. Some photography along the way.
Last Ride before lockdown
https://www.strava.com/activities/3200858824
Little did we know it on the day – although I think we suspected it as we were already social distancing – this we the day before lockdown.
Kenny and I set off from Aviemore and rode up Gleann Eanaich, as usual it was way more beautiful than I remembered. Also it was very calm which is rare I have only been before when it is blowing a hoolie.
Gravel tracks, red routes and wet tracks

A fun day in Glenlivet. We went exploring up the smugglers trail down the red runs, and then some very wet tracks to the road. We found a derelict croft house light not good for a photo. Definitely a bit to far on the road especially as it started raining and was very windy! but our legs did well as we have been off the bikes for a while.
Windy ride……

Today was very windy but as Kenny needed to start his macavalanche training and haven’t been on my bike for a month we thought we had better start out training programme. There was a strong head wind and it was very hard going on wet trails. When we got to the nearly the top of the hill at the start of the smugglers flight single track we decided to head down. A great bit of track and then the field to the gate was also excellent.
postscript: we repeated the ride the following day I halved my time on the smugglers flight….mind you i was barely in control at points! then when i got back I made wizz to the gate a segment. Kenny is king and I am queen….
