At Burn of Doune distracted by waterfalls. Scoped hillside of Cuys for Kidd's cave but didn't head up. Could see bit @JohnsWalks1 had pointed to. Bonus micro-howff nr zig zag path. I need to buy a drone for these trips or camp over for more time to explore, and to do so in spring

On to Balnamoon's cave easily found (though is it the "tourist" one). Scouted higher west at coords given for alternative, found chamber with good view along glen but not a cave as such. Have heard there's cave in fissure in rock face so more to do in future @JohnsWalks1

Up Glen Mark looking for mines & caves; bracken season is wrong time though. 1st location unsuccessful: Glifumman mine, scrabbled about in screen n deep heather, bottled out of steep gully. Later photo from distance maybe shows old access tracks. @JohnsWalks1

Hike with the Cairngorm Club up Bennachie on a chilly night+ some night nav practice. Practice is always good, but less banter as folk went silent counting paces. Tried to demo "plough>polaris>north" star-nav tip, whoops interrupted everyone's count.

22nd Nov, Also took the bc xc skis for a walk up Sgor Dubh and Sgor Mor, a bit too optimistic, thin cover there only allowed a token slide. Great views as always though and some nice snow sculpture in places. 2/2 #cairngorms

Up through the clouds to nice inversion on Ben Vrackie. Persuaded group to do a longer route rather than an out-n-back, rewarded with a brocken spectre and some nice autumn views

Exploring woods n small hills around Banchory with obligatory stop at Falls of Feugh. WTFs: Somebody chopped down the japanese maples nearby and a lot of 'no access' fencing & signs around; but soon soothed by deep mossy and mushroomy woods, and extreme larch-glow

Yasss snow is back (albeit temporarily). Four hills around #lochnagar. 3/4. The quiet terrain has the locals peeping out: well camouflaged ptarmigan and obvious hares dark in summer garb against the snow. Popped up behind the top back into busy human world, lots of folk out

A good evening; at a talk about foraging in The Cairngorms then a bike down to the sea for more space rays. 100s of folk out down at the beach boulevards. Lots of chatting to randoms sharing in the moment

Mild stroll with a group from Dinnet to Tullich. Always nice to introduce folk to enter the vat for the 1st time. Persuaded them to continue upstream beyond the falls, a "hidden gem" albeit rugged in spots for tentative walkers. Sun arrived late but lit up #autumn colours

Some good foraging recently, mushrooms, berries, nuts. I will need to find my nutcrackers though: quick substitute tool is proving slow going #foraging

Inside Gryp's Chamber. There's enough room for a dozen folk to sit around but barely flat floor for 1 to sleep. A bottle and a tub of firelighters reveal it must get the odd visit, perhaps by trainee deer stalkers - the surrounding corrie is peppered with coloured targets
