Spittle of Glenshee - Fresh Powder

The plan today was for Lewis and I to cycle to Blairgowrie and then get picked up by the rest of the group. However, we had to abandon the cycling idea for today; we had woken to a good few inches of fresh snow and the main road was yet to be ploughed. Not exactly ideal conditions for cycling!

Plan B was to take a short walk around the local area, nothing serious but a fine idea considering the current conditions. A quick change out of our cycling gear and we were off. The entire group set out from the lodge and joined the Cateran Trail heading east through Old Spittal Farm. Quite a bit of snow had fallen over night and it was now a glorious day. Talk turned to Projects and it was nice to hear what everyone had planned and it was great chatting to some staff that I rarely see in school. This kind of get-together doesn't really happen enough - a great weekend.
