Feeling fit after a 7.75 mile walk of the Loch Muick Circuit, Balmoral Estate.
We had a beautiful walk around Loch Muick, with the wind dropping after an icy-cold start, sunshine accompanying most of the walk and stunning light changes - what a gorgeous spot! We set out quite late in the day, so fairly quiet on the paths, just a few other walkers and some mountain bikers, and the evening colours as we completed the 7.75 mile circuit. Ann is keen to go and stay in the house on the lake - built by Queen Victoria in remembrance of Prince Albert, as a quiet getaway from the busier parts on the Balmoral Estate. So she plans to make friends with the current Royal family and see if she can get an invite!
