Two posts in one day because we’ve just come back from a fantastic walk in the hills and I like to relive the experience by writing about it and looking at all my photos. It’s a glorious day here today and so we decided to make the most of it and go for a medium length walk into the hills above Mar Lodge. We did almost 9.5km – according to my Fitbit – and although our kids are pretty good walkers they haven’t done much hiking. The worst bit was at the top on a flat stretch which was very muddy and difficult to navigate. Both of them were in tears at this point and carrying on as though the world was about to end. Fortunately this bit didn’t last very long and very soon we were on the downward stretch and their good spirits returned. We also saw a red squirrel! There were patches of snow here and there which made for some snow ball fights but the best part, for me anyway, were the views.

I lost my footing in this next one and nearly rolled down the hill.
I love this photo of Daniel with his toy, Nessie.
