The lower, more frequented, sections of Alva glen have a well made path with railings or fencing to discourage people from falling down the steep sides of the glen into the Alva Burn beneath.text/html2017-09-12T21:16:15+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1265Doug Lee56.800313 -5.015863NN1571 : Looking towards Number Two Gully from Number Four Gully

Number Four Gully is more often used as a Winter ascent or descent route on Ben Nevis. In summer, as you can see here, it's a unpleasant jumble of loose rock.text/html2017-09-12T20:42:10+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1265Doug Lee56.801362 -5.035607NN1471 : Race leader approaching the Red Burn during the 2017 Ben Nevis race

Where the path crosses the Red Burn marks the half-way point up (or down) Ben Nevis. When competing in the annual Ben Nevis race, runners must reach this point within an hour or they will be turned back as it is likely that they will then struggle to complete it in a safe time.
In this image the leader, and eventual race winner, Finlay Wild is approaching Red Burn after taking the shortcut across from main track on the other side of the Red Burn.text/html2017-09-12T20:28:24+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1265Doug Lee56.798519 -5.015718NN1571 : Cliffs beside Number Three Gully

The Aviemore triathlon starts with a swim in Loch Morlich. Shown here is the first buoy at about 300m out at which the competitors will turn right. A safety team in kayaks are present around the course ready to assist anyone who gets into difficulty.text/html2017-08-15T11:06:26+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1265Doug Lee57.165330 -3.722212NH9509 : Stones at the shoreline in Loch Morlich
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5498946
Loch Morlich is shallow here and the level of the lakebed drops off very slowly. As a result stones near the shoreline are frequently standing clear of the water.text/html2017-08-15T11:02:59+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1265Doug Lee57.165225 -3.722637NH9509 : Listening to the briefing on the shore of Loch Morlich

The Aviemore Triathlon occurs each year and starts with a swim in Loch Morlich before continuing with run and mountain bike ride through The Queens Forest.
