Fourman Hill from Bognie Arms

[litljortindan]

Decided to try this walk from the hotel as I had managed to briefly get the car stuck on ice the last time I tried to drive up the lane. This was a good decision as the walk up the lane is quite pleasant and it still looked a bit icy towards the end.


I parked in the small layby opposite the hotel.


Walking up the lane is a new and pleasant experience.


View east to the distinctive, tree-topped Logg Hill.






Fourman Hill and its woodland.


View northwest along the Deveron. Knock Hill top right.












Nearing the end of the lane.






Bennachie.




Quite a lot of snow lying.








Fortunately somebody has already broken a trail through the 1-2 foot of snow. It still feels like hard work lifting my lockdown legs from hole to hole.












Looking northeast.


Logg Wood and Logg Hill.


Milltown of Rothiemay.

That looked like good fun for "lockdown legs".

Looks like you have had a lot more snow than us.

The most snow I've seen on Fourman Hill anyway. I've been on the treadmill for twenty minutes a day but I don't think it makes much difference for going uphill. Still exercise though I suppose.
