This time we books a B&B in Braemar for 2 nights and had the luxury of getting to the start of the walk without getting up in the middle of the night
. A great day out, very quiet saw about 6 people on the whole walk. Pleased we could still do a trip like this in 9 hours
.
Setting off from Linn of Dee car park
Our route was a simple there and back along Glen Lui - a long walk (30K) but by and large on very good paths
