20th September: Aviemore and the Cairngorms

Filed in Britain 2006

We went for a ride out in the country. Aviemore is the staging point for climbing the Cairngorm mountains. We had lunch in town, which is pretty much a hole, and then went up to the mountain car park at roughly 2000′ to see the fog coming down off the mountains and have the car shake in the strong winds.

From top to bottom:

A nice view on the way to Aviemore.

Aviemore railway station. Lots of lovely old Victorian frilling and detail. There’s a real rail service, and another one for the tourists.

A rainbow at the Cairngorm car park. We’ve been going here for as long as I can remember. Many hikes were launched from here, but the wind was so strong I didn’t dare get out.

Aviemore stone circle. Even though it’s in the middle of a housing estate, it still seemed to be peaceful and have stillness.

Rather appropriately, a rowan grows as part of the circle.
