Roaming Bennachie..Oxen Craigs, Mither Tap and Craigshannoch.

A few photo's from our walk today.
As you can see, a low visibility day but a very enjoyable walk none-the-less.
Tea (and a little respite from the elements) was had in the 'wee' shelter at the top of Little Oxen Craigs. Following our quick stop and mini scout of the planned route, the decision was made to cut an alternative path up to 'Mither Tap' to keep us oot of the elements. Though well wrapped up, Uncle Jack advised the lack of gaitors would be problematic as the snow was reaching shin height on the planned path!
Thank the lord (as I said) Uncle J. was navigating, as my sense of direction was pretty appalling. He was doing his best to tutor me on reading the compass but to no avail...hopefully this will come in time!
More later.....
