A snowy Invermark walk 02/02/19

On Saturday we headed up to Invermark for a walk up to the Queen's Well, a crown shaped monument built over a natural spring in 1861 in honour of Queen Victoria, the Queen and Prince Albert are said to have stopped here for a drink before travelling to nearby Invermark Lodge. I am not a Royalist, it just seemed like a good walk in the hills with an interesting landmark to aim for.
The roads were fine until we passed through Edzell, as the roads got narrower, the snow got deeper and more of it. We eventually reached the carpark at Invermark, thankfully Lesley was prepared with a snow shovel in the car, it was handy for me to dig a car size hole in the snow in which to park.
A great walk in fantastic scenery, if you like snow covered hills that is. We didn't make it to the monument as it was very slow going in knee and sometimes deeper snow. A great day out in beautiful blue skies. I will hooefully add photos from my Olympus 0-M1 film camera when I get them developed.

The car dug in, Lesley and Sitka ready for the walk.
