Best day of the week so far - weatherwise. H up for his jabs today, so just the twa G's. Drove along Deeside in fine sunshine to park at Keiloch and stump up their parking fee. Luckily, it took a credid card as I'd no cash on me....... Creag a Chait.gpx Parking at Keiloch.JPG Readied ourselves in a ...

Another iffy week with the weather, Heavy rain in Westhill most of the week, but a window, promised today. Fair this morning and Harvey back from his holidays, so picked him up and headed west. Surprised by a Range Rover whooshing by us on one of the B9119 straights, doing an estimated ton. Must've ...

Just found one of my old diaries with this walk recorded. Couldn't remember doing Sg an Fhuarain, just remember dropping down from the bealach. Prob just nipped along the track on the ridge to the top, since I was fit enough at the time to make it a trivial ascent. I thought at the timethe track con...

After studying the weather, we resorted to plan B. The original plan for Glen Isla was shelved due to forecast morning snow - wimp ! Plan B was initiated with a visit to Hillbagging Section 8 low-level Tumps on the N side of the A93 road at Crathie. No Harvey this week, as he's on holiday in Aviemor...

An iffy day, weatherwise. Some rain and light cloud forecast. Nonetheless, we picked up Harvey and sped along Deeside - skirmishing with the Aboyne Academy school buses on the way. After Braemar, the sleet and cloud closed in forebodingly. No snow on the road this time, but a smattering at lower lev...

A murky day......only one hill planned to minimise the discomfort ! A wee scuff o snow on the road as we breasted the bealach above the ski centre, but clear down to the Spittal It was drizziling as we parked in the layby on the main road just N of Old Spittal Farm and the Cateran Trail. Bad an Lion...

Our first serious outing this year & testing Cath. A fine view of Lochnagar, resplendant in a fresh mantle of snow as we passed Ballater. A glorious winter day in brilliant sunshine, with a smattering of snow on the road as we drove up Glen Clunie. Skittered over the top and down to the car park...

Had a few diversions recently with plumbing probs, prep for an uncles 100th and a personal 80th birthday, so a late start to the 2024 walking season. Unlike GC, who celebrated his 80th with a walk on the Cairn o Mount, I wimped out and had a family sunday lunch..... Morning has broken 23 2 24 Westhi...

Back to the regular walks after a wee interregnum due to Birthday parties and Reunions. Took pity on Harvey and dispensed with the bikes for the hurl along the loch to Inchgrundle Joined the hordes on the AWPR and A90 before turning off at Luthermuir then up Glen Esk. Parked at the end of the glen w...

It's been a wee while since we'd been on the hill, and the weather has been somewhat inclement of late, so it was a local "warmup" hill between the frontal systems sweeping acros the east coast driven by storm Ceiran. Meikle Tap - Copy.gpx Scuttled across the road from the layby to negotia...

Clova the Sprocker was my charge for this week - while Don & co went on hols to the Med. We walked through several drookins suffering the worst of the rainfall. Fairly quickly, the Denman Burn became a raging torrent and I wasn't sure that Clova wouldn't jump in - not realising its ferocity. So ...

The old battle bus is needing its MOT, so I'm grounded until next week. ( Poor planning again........) Biked along to Harvey's and then walked him down to Carnie woods Carnie.gpx Did a loop around the naked ( in places ) woods, meeting a lady with a pair of beautiful Rhodesian ridgebacks and the usu...

Hi Gordon I knew if I waited you would get round to this route and I could then check it out :wink: Having been really disappointed with the Muckle Cairn at the far end of Glen Lee (nothing muckle about it) I was planning a round trip to the Muckle Cairn over towards Glen Clova probably starting fr...

The only day available this week was Thursday, so I watched the weather forecast intently...... Gordon no-mates this week as GC is on safari with our deep south mate Trevor, who has just migrated to Buckie. Harvey is down in Dundee, so a solo trip today....... Mindful of the stalking season, I'd ema...
