Day 8
Friday 21st May - Geldie Burn to Braemar
Friday morning started wet and miserable, although at that time we were still in high spirits. We were going to be a day early at Braemar, and due to the weather that was going to cost Grandfather a few more pounds than planned.
Before we reached Braemar it was apparent that we were not going to camp at the campsite. By the time we reached the Fife Arms the rain was turning to sleet and it was decided that we would have a meal before going to the Tourist Information Office to find a B & B for two nights. We had our meal and looking out of the window we now saw it snowing and blowing, so Grandfather decided he was not going out in the weather if rooms could be booked in the Fife Arms. Marian was due to arrive with more supplies on Saturday, so a double and a twin room was booked for two nights and we settled in for some comfortable nights.
