Duo done today
Was gonna do Mount Blair 1st today but they were doing tree felling at the suggested parking area so I drove along to Auchavan
Cheekily parked by the houses/ holiday let's, wasn't taking my car down that pot holed dirt track to the river. I've wrecked enough!!
Stayed on the track all the way to the summit. Quite a few deer up top today, great seeing them

Down and decided to do Mount Blair too so I drove back along and parked about 900m short of the start. Up the hill , over the fence , through the 1st boggy section and stayed on the grass/ track all the way to the top
