Perhaps more of a shock because mostly the Festive Season has been all about mild temperatures and sunshine. Christmas Eve had been wall-to-wall sunshine and though Christmas Day itself started cloudier we decided on a walk up Bennachie anyway, from the Rowantree car park which affords a boskier, gentler climb than some of the other starting points.
The day was positively balmy, despite the cloud, and the views spurred us on.
Mither Tap is soon in view on this route
and the effort rewarded once at the top.
Briefly, very briefly, considered going on, the path to Oxen Craig beckoning
but hey, it was Christmas Day, presents to open and meals to cook, so we headed back down as the sun finally emerged.
And so, with a few work days in between,holiday walking has been about mild temperatures, wintry silhouettes,magical skies and an almost mysterious stillness in the air.....
......which may account for the re-emergence of unicorns.
Happy New Year!
