A walk with Laura and Jasper - 30th August

 Laura and I decided to meet near Boat of Garten for a walk. It was a lovely day and we wondered through the woods just chatting and setting the world to rights. Jasper was such a good boy, we met a few people including two of the Cairngorm Rangers, but mostly we just had a lovely, quiet day

Lovely boy, Jasper

We sat in the back of Laura's van to eat lunch with the tailgate open, the weather was nice but trying to rain. You can just see a van parked on the verge outside the car park. Not entirely sure why he chose to park there, he did walk round the car park which was plenty big enough and virtually empty. People are strange.

Lovely walk though.

Roughly 7.5km and 263m total ascent
