cairngorms winter trip part 1

had the most wonderful weekend in the cairngorms. each time i return on a greater wilderness high than the last. quite amazing that the committee outdoes itself with each successive trip :) thank god for a warm winter. was secretly pleased that the north was not as bitterly cold as i'd anticipated. was toasty in my bunk, snug as a bug in a rug. the victorian villa was sheer luxury with its hot power showers. made my weekend! got my am/pm shower and was one very happy camper. the banter was, as usual, riveting and i've yet to come across another bunch of people as warm, inclusive and interesting as the wildernessmedics :) such a good call to join WM. 
left friday pm, stopped at a local chippy (my favourite!) en route for a greasy dinner. had chips, cheese and beans, the thought of which makes my mouth water even now :( "checked in" our victorian villa, on the nassim road of aviemore no less (!!!) and slept so well in the clean, crisp sheets. here's a photo of our villa in the day. villa photo credits to dan the official WM photographer. check out those blue skies!
