Todays walk in Moniaive had been planned a few weeks ago but we were only able to go today and without John as he is still in Edinburgh. It was a perfect day for walking but very cold. The instructions we were following advised us to turn right at this cottage which to our surprise was called Langholm. |

The early part of the walk involved crossing the Dalwhat Water and a climb to the top of Bardennoch Hill which is just over 1000ft high. |

The summit but not a place to linger as it was bitterly cold in the biting wind. |

Someone has built a seat beside this lovely tree so I had to give it a try |

The final section of our walk was a lonely country road but due to it being in continual shade it was very slippy with lots of patches of black ice |

And finally back into Moniaive for a lovely lunch in The GlenWhisk Cafe and Bistro. Very quick service and excellent food we will definitely be back. |
