Day 4 Part 1 Aviemore to Nethy Bridge

Eamon's day off so it was easier to do part 1 today using public transport to get back at the end of the walk. Eamon decided to join us on the walk to see what we all get up to.

I didn't manage to find an official start of the walk so took a photo of the map showing the first three parts. One or two spots of rain as we set off but that soon cleared and the sun shone brightly the rest of the day.

We had a lunch stop at Boat of Garten where some people finished and returned on the bus or went to visit the RSPB Osprey cemtre at Loch Garten. The walk continued along a cycle track and through the Abernethy Forest National Nature Reserve.

We caught the service bus back from Nethy Bridge at great speed and were back in no time at all. Plenty of time for shopping, cups of tea and buns and writing postcards, all of which I did.

Later in the evening most of the people in the hostel went to the hotel for a quiz night followed by a trip to the pub for a night cap. I preferred to read my book and have a hot chocolate....must be my age!!
