A cloudy day but clear summits and some glimpses of sun, a cold breeze. Cycled to Geldie lodge, quite a rocky track in some parts but got a good tailwind on the way back. Dry underfoot and the river crossings were fine with the dry weather.
Saw ravens, grouse, ptarmigan, golden plover and heard red deer. Great views of the Cairngorms and down the long glens with the rivers, beautiful morning lighting. Saw a sea king helicopter when I was cycling back.
