Meanwhile in der Schweiz

I (linzie) did my first wanderweg unteraegari to Baar.  16 km go me!!! Here are some pics:

The river - it was pretty

Praying for good weather - it did not work

The forest - skinny jeans not a good idea

 Spiderman???

It wouldn't be Switzerland without a wooden bridge

It was a lovely day shame about the weather :(

Loch Muick

Saturday 14th March 2011 - Loch Muick Circular (8 miles - 3 hours)

A return for all of us to a route we previously did around 10 years ago. The weather was changeable all day. one minute warm in the sun and a few moments later heavy showers. One particular shower caught us with no shelter at the head of the loch. We had a memorable moment just as we started walking when a herd of deer crossed the path directly in front of us
(Unfortunately the camera was in my sac at the time so no photos).

Finished off the day playing darts & pool in Ballatar before having supper at the Boat Inn, Aboyne

Arbroath and Seaton Cliffs - 19th March 2011

This is a 7.1/4 mile walk along the cliffs north of Arbroath to the village of Auchmithie, a shorther return route via farm tracks. The guide book and the map mentions a pub in Auchmithie, however this is no longer the case. However this did not detract from the quality of the walk which had some good cliff views on the outward leg. We also spotted some dolphins out at sea and there were an abundance of sea birds nesting on the cliffs. We were not sure of the actual distance as Bills pedometer showed 8 miles on completion.
An excellent first walk for 2011.

Weather - Warm, sunny with little wind
Notes - The return leg accross the fields could be muddy in wet weather. One section is basically a grass strip between 2 ploughed fields
