Had an excellent walk by Glen Shee yesterday. Off with my dad for a spot of Munro bagging! The land around here is all fairly high up, but relatively flat in places. We went for a walk taking in six hills (Craig Leacach, Glas Maol, Cairn of Claise, Tom Buidhe, Tolmount and Cairn an Tuirc), but relatively speaking there wasn't much height gain (significantly less than my two last week, or our two the week before). So it was an enjoyable walk, never really a slog, although my dad might disagree since he was the one cycling back to the starting point to pick up the car!

Most of the hills were fairly uninteresting, depending which side you're coming from, but when the clouds were up there were some nice views to the North and West.

The weather has turned this week. We were out yesterday in shirt-sleeves much of the time, as it was pleasently warm. Not much snow surviving, although the remaining cornices look quite nice.

Oh yes, lots of wildlife out there. Saw my first ptarmigan (in flight), millions of mountain hares, lots of grouse, and a few deer. Of course it's hard to photograph these things, but here are some pictures:
