Originally the plan was to head to Tarland and climb Pressendye. We got to Tarland and started the walk, but 10 mins in to it, Kamila wasn't feeling too well and it wouldn't be a good idea to go into the hills, so we headed to the car and decided to go to Glen Tanar. The plan was to link Pinewoods and Riverside walk together, but we needed to back by 3pm, so just did this one.

We headed up to the viewpoint and then went back down to the loch and did the rest of the walk in reverse, which we prefer. Lots of birdsongs today and a few people enjoying the sunshine. No flies surrounding us today, so enjoyed it a lot.
