The Forest of Glenavon - a photo on Flickriver

            Two weeks ago I had one of a few great spring flights, this one in the Cairngorms, flying over a glen that I have enjoyed visiting on the ground a couple of times. Matt leads the way as we glide north over the precipitous ridge west of Ben Avon that divides the mighty Slochd Mòr corrie, below, from Glas Allt Mor to the south.

The river A'an (Avon) flows across the centre of the entire shot, mostly in the shade, and most of the ground below us represents the potential to have spent the entire rest of the day walking back out to civilisation had we not found another thermal to sustain our cross-country ambitions,

The county of Moray extends off in to the distance, with the Black Isle and Easter Ross faintly visible on the left side of the horizon.

In the end, we did make it out of these wild lands, myself landing just short of Tomintoul, while Matt managed to push on to Grantown on Spey  before turning left to land at Boat of Garten.
