A day out back in my old office with Moray. Our old office, because Moray usually came to work with me.

Hot hazy sunshine above an inversion. Lurcher's Crag and the Northern Corries to Cairn Gorm. I used to be up here several times a week, now love just wandering without any particular objectives.

From 12 years ago this week:

Moray's first time through the Lairig Ghru, fun in the Dee at Corrour.

And his first (I think) overnight expedition, onto the Cairngorm plateau.

Happy Old Year's Day, Happy Hogmanay, and Happy New Year when it comes.

Some earlier ones:
1. 2016, Ryvoan.
2. 1981, Ben Alder from Culra.
3. 1977 Coire an Lochain, although Hogmanay itself was at the Shelter Stone.
4. 1978, Lairig Ghru, trying (& failing) to get to Corrour from the Sinclair Hut.

Moray was a bit put out that the vet referred to him as an elderly dog last week, so we felt we had to prove her wrong.

First overnighter of the year, a low level two day trek, up Glen Feshie, then the Geldie and the Dee and back via the Lairig Ghru. Camp by the Geldie Burn. Summer conditions at this level, but still some snow on the high ground.
