Day 15 - Grantown to Aviemore 33mls

A Gorm on top of the Cairn Gorm

Moving on to Aviemore today. Not far but we are going to stay for one night so we can go up the mountain railway to the top of Cairn Gorm, at 1245m. Was very cold in the night so had to have the heating on and Taz snuck on to my bag at some stage, something she has not done before. Decided to get the carpets out and give the Starlett a spring clean (must be the mountain air) before setting off.
Thought we might have a nice lunch in the Ptarmigan Cafe at the top but they only had sandwiches and soup. We seem to be thwarted in our attempts to find any decent local cuisine - apart from fish and chips!

 The view was incredible. You can see as far as 94miles away. The temperature was just on freezing point and it snowed this morning, in fact they are still skiing at the weekends.
Glenmore Lodge park is at the foot of the mountain on the shore of Loch Morlich. Very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by miles of trails for walking and biking. Just got back from a hike round the loch and forest.
Tonight we do not have any TV, so will have to look for other forms of entertainment...............

Possibly, on line bridge or reading!!
