Linn of Dee

[Davie Hudson]

access to this one was a nightmare as the whole entry point was iced up badly... I will return and get a lot closer when there is less chance of impending death

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Absolutely amazing!!!!
Davie, I really hope you don't find this offensive in any way at all.... I love the look of this location more than the picture itself if that makes any sense.... I totally understand that you are very limited to were you could go due to the risk factor and very much aware of your willingness to revisit, and I'm positive to say that your the LEGEND when it comes to waterfalls, but I'm Really looking forward to see you work your magic on this destination soon.... it's FANTASTIC!!!
Where is the location of this pic???

 

[Davie Hudson]

It makes total sense Dan, it's not my favourite the ice was really bad and stupidly I forgot my ice spikes or I would have gotten closer. The location is very near Braemar and is at the end of a dead end road that was very treacherous to drive on and when all that melts I will photograph the hell out of it

 

[Dan Cattermole]

That would be mint!! Really looking forward to those shots Davie!
Hang on.... You have ice spikes?? Now that's what I'm talking about!! Lol

 

[adrian jordin]

Incredible..it hardly looks real....

 

[Kev Pugh]

Hang on.... You have ice spikes?? Now that's what I'm talking about!! Lol

Now why doesn't that surprise me?. Dan you are extreme but you won't need ice spike in Wuzza town

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Gonna need something else for the cathedral!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Long line and cramp ons either that or a quid to enter

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Bloody hell, that looks dicey Davie! :/

Perhaps you should post ahead of time where you're going, so that if you don't come back to the forum, we can call for mountain rescue to go look for you!

That tree branch echos the bridge shape rather nicely - very shot worthy

it's getting to the point Chris I may have to start doing something like that... I never usually tell anyone where I'm going because I don't know myself :/

 

[Brodie Jackson]

It looks so beautiful there!!
I wish it snowed here!

 

[Dave Moss]

Great shot Davie

it is nice,but, it has it's downsides , the most obvious of course is it's bloody cold and it can be very dangerous

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Yeh wouldn't want to slip down that one :/

A mate of mine is an Ice Climber, that basically involves climbing iced up waterfalls and his son was also an ice climber until the day the waterfall collapsed on him landing about 5 tonnes of ice on top of him killing him pretty much instantly.

It's things like this that will keep me safe, one eye on the danger at all times, if not the highlands has the capability of spitting you out without warning and yet every year you get idiots going hill walking in jeans and trainers

 

[Chris Armstrong]

What a spot! The photo reminds me of an old painting...and I mean that in the best way possible. Very cool!

 

[Pete Askew]

That does indeed look treacherous Davie. Safer to go back when it's thawed I think and, you know, I think the presence of the snow and ice detract from the contrast between the dark rock and vegetation and the water somehow.

when i go back i'm hoping to have learned the skill of using ropes properly so I can get to water level.... it's coming to the point where I need to know
