Fourman Hill sunrise inversion

[litljortindan]

Noticed mist was forecast around the small local hills so got out of bed to see if it looked worth going for a walk. Mist was sitting all around but thin enough to suggest Fourman Hill would be above it.


Looking promising.


I got going along the track and it became clear that there was an extensive inversion right around the hill and beyond to Knock Hill.


An extra layer.


Looking north.




Wind turbines giving an indication of the depth of the mist.




Ben Rinnes to the south west.




















Tap o' Noth and The Buck from near the trig point.


The Buck and Huntly.


Tillymorgan can't shake off its cloak.

Looking east.


View south of Bennachie.


On the way down.














Follow the fence most of the way down.












Interesting tree shadows cast into the mist.






Deer that was roaring at me.


A chance to get a couple of photos in the direction of the sun as it gets blocked off by some cloud.




Looking back at the hillside.


More shadows.












Driving back down the lane.

Stunning pics of a hill most won’t have heard of. Magic.

It was! Well worth the small amount of sleep deprivation. I find memory of a walk like this lives on for a long time.

Been up there many times but have only seen another walker on one occasion. Would be nice if the Forestry Commission opened up the old storm-closed routes but at least there is still this way open up through the field.
