#MyMemoryLane - a multi day hike visiting some favourite spots from my time living in the Aviemore area

This collection is one very close to my heart as it has a lot of sentimental value. I previously lived and worked in the Aviemore area from my late teens to mid 20's and my time there was extremely special and life changing. It's where I met my now husband, had a life altering career change, and most importantly - I discovered a love of the great outdoors. In those 6 years I moved around the area a lot and travelled frequently throughout the valley for work. Many people enjoy frequent trips to the area on holiday but living there meant that I discovered so many new walks, trails, paths and hidden gems during this time. I have such fond memories of being able to call the Cairngorms National Park home - that's pretty special.After living in Edinburgh for 4 years I decided to embark on a multi day hike to honour some of my favourite adventures and memories from my time in the Cairngorms. This felt unlike anything I had attempted before as any previous long distance routes I took part in were as a group. Doing this solo felt like a whole new challenge and one that I truly embraced.
