This was my fourth time in Aviemore. I've always found it to be a pretty special place. We took the bus up the the Cairngorm ski centre yesterday and went past Loch Morlich before going on a mad walk up one of the mountain paths! I've walked on Loch Morlich in the winter of 2008 when it was -13ºC! Slightly foolish I know but it was pretty solid and we stayed close to the edge. If I manage a camping trip in August/September to watch an early 25/26 season game for Caley then there could well be another stop off in Aviemore on the way. Oh and we watched a great Johnny Cash tribute act in The Winking Owl last night just to nicely round off the unplanned visit!

Wow! Thanks for sharing this story with me. Sounds like I wasn't anywhere near as unlucky as you were. By coincidence, I've got family in Norfolk and Suffolk. One of them plays for Beccles Town and I'm planning to go and watch him play before the end of the season. This, combined with my Truro City trip earlier in the season and the ill-fated Caley Thistle trip was part of a bigger plan to watch teams from the far corners of the UK in one season. I will be back to the Caledonian Stadium, but it's likely to be next season now unfortunately.
