Roadworks at Stoney on A90, so went anti-clockwise via Braemar. Also a change of scenery. GC driving his wundercar today, so the old jalopy has had a rest along with Harvey. Great to gawp around in the shotguns' seat instead of frightening GC with my erratic driving whilst rubbernecking. Hill of Ash...

Needed to tidy up this corner of the Tump map, so headed south for Kirrie. Still nae Harvey, as he continues to recuperate from his op. Broom Hill and Long Goat ( Pearsie - behind Kirriemuir ) Parked at the end of the track for Corriehead. $matches[2] Pearsie.gpx Stolled up the track through a pheas...

Section 7 Headed south again to get that pesky Drumderrach, which has been surrounded by roadworks recently. Caught out by the cone system at the roadworks on the A90 just N of Forfar, so had to loop round by Glamis to Kirrie and out the Alyth road. The "road closed " signs were still in p...

Tried to get to Drumderrach, but thwarted by multiple roadworks around Alyth. Did a couple o circuits in Alyth before giving up on Drumderrach and heading for Backwater.. Recce'd a couple of parking spots then returned to the last picnic/parking spot up the glen, based on comments by previous hillba...

As the GPS function is no longer available on WH for now, as they upgrade their mapping server, there will be no route-maps for a wee while on my blog. 1. Carroch Hill An easy start to the day. Parked beside another car at the roadside and walked up the track to the top area. Had to scutter around a...

Once more into the blinding morning sun to Finavon. Road closed signs to Tannadice, but we ignored them as usual, as we thought it was probably connected to the brig at Oathlaw. Nae chance - a big hole in the road in the middle of Tannadice, so we had to back up and re-route through Wellford to get ...

Drove south into the low-angled winter sun. Headed through Kirriemuir to Dykehead at the bottom o Glen Clova. What a change from last week ! Mile Hill $matches[2] Parked up in the trees just beyond the Scott/Wilson Memorial, below the Airlie Memorial Tower. $matches[2] $matches[2] Wandered up along ...

Our fair weather plan was thwarted by the faster-than-expected arrival of a frontal system...... Skittered over the Cairn o Mount on untreated icy roads on the Aberdeenshire side. The sun was just rising, dazzling us on our way south, adding to the hazards. Turned up just after Brigend to find a not...

Our first outing of 2023, to walk off some of the excesses of the festive season. Started as nae a bad day, but degenerated into a soor claggy one after White top......... Negotiated all the skitie bits on the road from Finavon to Fern. Drumcuthlaw $matches[2] Found a convenient layby for our "...

This was a pre-christmas dart, to prepare ourselves for the festive seasons' culinery debauchery. Co-incidentally it was GC's 80th birthday today, so a celebration of his continued ability to trot over the hills with effortless aplomb. After picking up Harvey, we drove towards the Cairn, ignoring th...

Snowing quite vigorously, so we elected to attack the orbital route round the periphery of Westhill. $matches[2] Started at the Denman Burn and skirted the Lawsondale playing fields through the woods. $matches[2] Recovered H's morning sacrifice on the way and deposited it in the dumpery bin. Walking...

A look out of the window first thing deemed that a change of plan was necessary. The snow I'd cleared off the car last night had been replaced by another layer, which was still falling....... Something local was needed to replace the planned Angus glens visit, so Hill of Fare it was, to minimise sno...

An iffy day as we drove south over the Cairn o Mount, then through Fettercairn to Gannochy. The road up to the Crannel track, although marked as a public road up to near Corriescorn, is in fact gated just before the electricity pylons - but with a compensatory generous parking area . The Crannel $ma...

Oot tae snatch a couple o tumps before the next frontal system sweeps in......... our_route.gpx Arnbarrow and Garrol Hills Lovely morning for driving over the Cairn o Mount to find the track up to Arnbarrow farm. Nice tarmac road, with a parkup near the farm where the old military road joined the fa...

After the rain of yesterday, twas a fair day forecast, which looked even better as we drove south to Stracathro, turning off to Inchbare and thence to Lundie. Hill of Lundie Thought about doing this one from the Brown Catethun, but elected for the route from the south - with fewer fences. $matches[2...
