It's my favourite place to be, absolutely fantastic countryside, breathtaking views and tremendous hills to climb! I've never been to anywhere with such amazing light. It has 4 of the highest 6 hills in Britain and my all time favourite Munro (hill over 3000 ft) to climb - the Devils Point - and it's the deepest valley in Britain, being deeper than most of the UK is high! If I have time on Friday when we get back I'll try to post a few pics for you. Oh an dit's supposed to be haunted by a big sasquatch type beastie called the Gray Man of Ben Macdui - fabbo! No matter where I travel to or end up living I always feel that I have to visit the Cairngorms when home in Scotland. I'm getting all excited! Hooray for me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lairig_Ghru

I've sent a couple of pics to scott to upload for me so hopefully I'll have the pics for you tomorrow. We only took a few this time as the weather was fairly appalling but if you want to see more I've a heap from the last time we were away and it was snowing!

I wasn't smiling so much five minutes later when the heavens opened and we were drenched! This is four pictures stitched together - you can see the dodgy blur in the middle, but I'm no photoshop pro so this was as good as I could get. It's me (again!) falling over on top of the Devils Point (drinking Whiskey at the top of a windy mountain is never clever kids, trust your unca Keith on that) with a grand view of the Cairngorms behind. These were the only really good pictures from the whole trip - I'll post more next time we're away but 'til then hope you like these. Thanks Scott for your technowizardry. Keith

I'm always saying I'll travell up there and have a look about for myself. I've got holidays due...maybe then. See? You've inspired me to face a childhood fear. My hero! Be lucky
