Looking up to the summit of Geal-charn Mor before the cloud rolled in from the West.
Looking South to the Feshie Hills.
Some serious excavation work going on next to the Burma Road.
Scots pine (Pinus Sylvestris) is an evergreen conifer native to Northern Europe and is one of just three conifers native to the UK. It is found in abundance in the Caledonian forest in the Scottish Highlands - Mature trees can live for up to 700 years.
Great views to the Cairngorms to take your mind off the relentless knee deep soft snow.
Looking South down the Allt Dubh towards Creag Ghleannain 599m.
The Burma Road was originally constructed by prisoners of war in the 1940's.
At 700m the snow started to firm up, below this it was deep and soft which made for hard walking conditions.
No views today, cloud had rolled in from the West by the time I had reached the summit.
Inquisitive female Red grouse. Lots of Mountain hares roaming about as well as a pair of Golden Eagles soaring above.
Great light over the Cairngorms on the descent back down the Burma, It'll be a while yet before your able to Mountain bike on the Burma.
