Recent posts of mine were covering stories about travelling to warm countries and I am the one to blame for people wanting to escape the cold (sorry guys).I have therefore decided to write about winter activities rather than snorkelling and scuba diving in the next few posts.
The following pictures were taken in and around Aviemore, where John and I went snowshoe walking.
This picture of a frozen lake Morlich was taken on the way to the ski slopes.
We were lucky that day as the snow was ideal for snowshoe walking and and the scenery was breath taking and we did not come across many people either.
It was very romantic and idyllic with a phenomenal view.
Very often you can spot deer in the distance so don't forget to bring your binoculars.
Meall a'Bhuachaille, with an altitude of 810m (2657 ft) is the hill, also called a Corbett, you see in the photographs. That's the area where we went snowshoe walking.
Only 3 1/2 hours from Edinburgh and approximately half an hour east of Aviemore, this area is considered one of Scotland's gems. It lies within the Cairngorm national park and is well known for its skiing and as a winter holiday destination.
Accommodation is easy to find as there are many bed and breakfasts (B&B's) as well as hotels in and around Aviemore but I advise you to book in advance to avoid disappointment as Aviemore is extremely busy in the winter.

In my next post I will report about the annual husky competition, taking place at the end of January in Aviemore. Definitely an event to attend if you are a dog lover.
