Blue sky, sunshine and lovely autumn colours at Inverdruie

Heading out into the forest

with Tim leading the way as usual

Lochan Mor

Lochan Mor

I just loved the twisted branches and bark on this old pine tree

The autumn colours were pretty spectacular too!

More golden tree's, these ones were Silver Birch

A perfect spot for a cottage in the woods?

Golden Larches on the way to Loch an Eilein

The visitor centre at Loch an Eilein, which was closed!

Loch an Eilein with the snow covered Cairngorm in the distance

The ruins of the castle on the small island in the loch

Today we decided to extend our usual route by including the loop around Loch Gamhna

We almost regretted this decision as it was extremely boggy in places

Loch Gamhna

Twisted pines beside the loch

More strangely shaped tree's!

Back on the main path around Loch an Eilein

Giant pine tree's

After walking around the loch we headed west through the forest

Tim took a dip in every stream that he found

The first of the winter's snow on the distant mountain tops

Looking south towards Glen Enich

Left towards Loch Morlich!

The other path headed into the remote Glen Enich

Lochan Deo with Cairngorm in the distance

Another view of Lochan Deo

The walking for most of the walk was on really good tracks like this one

The Cairngorm Club Footbridge, we turned round here and headed back to Inverdruie

One of gates through the deer fences

Heading back through the forest

Not too many views ,just tree's!

The main paths through the forest seemed to be well signposted

A new path has been built since out last visit which saves the last mile or so of road walking

A lovely building for the MRT cntre

Finally back in Inverdruie
