Was up in Aberdeen for the weekend, managing to fit in a walk to Mount Keen with Scotty, the long/scenic way through Glen Tanar. Not much to add in terms of a route description to what's already on here, so will let the pictures do the talking. Beautiful route through the woods (sadly no Capercaillie spotted), colder and a lot of the white stuff higher up on the hill, which actually made it a pretty tough climb. Great views to lochnagar and co. My first of the Cairngorms, hopefully many more to come
Trip to Assynt this weekend too

Nice. You're starting to really bust out the hills now

Trying to take advantage of the decent weather! When the inevitable downpours start in the supposed Scottish 'summer' I might not be quite so prolific
