A stunning day with a cloud inversion and broken spectres - beautiful views the entire day right over to Skye and Torridon. Nice with the winter sunrise lighting up the hills. Saw red deer, grouse, ptarmigan and a dipper. Great walking over the ridges and fantastic views of the corries and lochans.
Went over Creag Ghorm a'bhealaich rather than the bypass and detoured over to Sgurr na Fearstaig before descending on the fine stalkers path with some nice waterfalls. Misty back down in the glen, wish I'd had my bike to go back along the road! Brilliant day :)
