We spent a couple of days in the Cairngorms as part of our great Scottish Adventure! This started with a trip for Bev, Paul and us bears to the Landmark Park at Carrbridge, where they have a tree-top walk and red squirrels in an ancient Caledonian pine forest - Bev was determined to see these elusive critters after Paul spotted one at the Scottish Deer centre. The weather was sunny and warm for most of the day, with the result that we had a gorgeous tree-top walk through the ancient pine forest. The red squirrels remained elusive for the duration of our walk, so that Bev and Paul were beginning to think they didn't live there at all. However, they then spotted two on the bird feeders near the end of the walk, and another squirrel, probably a juvenile as he had no ear tufts, also came down to feed, so Bev and Paul got some good photographs of them and Bev was a happy woman at last!
Our next adventure in the Cairngorms was a trip with the nice lady, to the Cairngorms plateau in the funicular railway. Travelling on the funicular railway to Britain's highest railway station was great fun, and the views from the top were spectacular! We had lunch high in the clouds and spent some time admiring the views before heading back down again and driving home for tea with Carlos.
All in all, both trips to the Cairngorms were brilliant fun for everyone. We bears had great fun at the Landmark Park running through the forest, chasing the wildlife and scaring the children at the Adventure Park, and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip on the funicular railway. Bev, Paul and the nice lady also had a great time, and as a bonus Bev and Paul got some really good photographs!
