But a little way in to the walk the heavens opened. After sheltering for a little while we set off back via the woods to find some protection. Of course as we neared the car the clouds cleared!
On the roof of the watersports centre the flag was hanging limply; no wind. We had a cuppa and played frisbee whilst waiting for the wind to pick up but there was no sign of that happening so we went back home for a while.
Aviemore hosts Thunder in the Glen each year which is a rally for Harley Davidson owners. We last saw it in 2009 when my mum had a ride on the back of a Harley. The event has grown and grown and we were amazed by the number of campervans and tents, motorbikes and riders. I'd say the village was swamped. We walked around the stalls and looked at the bikes. Jess and Kath had a go at the paintballing stall - great fun with different noises depending on what they hit, almost musical.
Back to the loch where there was just enough wind for Martin and Kath to hire windsurfers and Jess, Ryan and I took out paddle boards. It was a first for me and I didn't go out as far as the others.
Kath and Martin discussing wind direction;
Back for a takeaway supper and a last round of cards. I had haggis not realising it would be battered. The haggis was good but the batter went in the bin.
