@scotways.com signpost showing the way over the Burma Rd at Allt na Chriche, near Aviemore, Cairngorms NP #fingerpostfriday

Loch an Eilein ruined castle in Rothiemurchus, Cairngorms plus some ancient Caledonian Forest Scots Pine to be found on the lochside circular route.

An afternoon cycle ride today took me past a Millenium NCN @sustrans.bsky.social #FingerpostFriday in Rothiemurchus, Cairngorm National Park

Three for the price of One for #fingerpostfriday On the Aviemore Orbital, Cairngorm National Park.

A lovely day: cold (+4C ) but bright. Some of the cycle route taken lies alongside the River Spey, Cairngorm National Park.

I’ve posted this one before but it was becoming overgrown and obscured by tree growth. It’s now fully visible! #fingerpostfriday @scotways.com

@endtoendcycle.bsky.social Hi there. I’m another LeJog completist. 1200 miles, much of road following Sustrans routes. 23 days on an e-bike, MTB version. May/June 2024

XC skiing on the Golf Course

-7C and falling outside. A good clear night for planet spotting. Right now Venus, Saturn; Jupiter & Mars all visible.

Amber cold health alerts cover the whole of England but are not in place for the rest of the UK. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issues the alerts when adverse temperatures are likely to impact on people's wellbeing, in particular those who are elderly or have health conditions.

Another day for the rapid temperature changes. Plus 29mm of rain since midnight. 😳

Good news! The planning application to erect a 22.5m high telecoms mast plus ancillary equipment (fencing, cabinets, access track) near Ryvoan Bothy in the Cairngorms National Park has been withdrawn by the applicants after CNP Authority recommended refusal.

Updated temperature graph!

Rapid temperature rise here in Aviemore. Literally in the space of half an hour, I watched the temperature rise from -2C to +2.5C. Where did that come from?

There are very few finger posts in the ancient Caledonian pine forest, but signposts none the less. #fingerpostfriday And it’s a different type of Piccadilly altogether. 😂

A cold but beautiful day in the Cairngorm National Park today.

I’ll make this one my first #fingerpostfriday on BlueSky as an introduction. Taken when I finished #LeJog earlier this year, having just finished 1200 miles on mainly Sustrans and NCN routes.
