Finally managed to get out for a wee walk after our car was written off. A few icy spots but mostly easy going.

I quite fancy a look at some of these lower Aberdeenshire hills sometime - think it'll be a day out on the bike for me though (from Keith or Huntly, not Inverness!).

I have been up and down this one a few times too as it is very close to home. Good wee hill apart from the gorse at the summit :)

But will the gorse be enough to force malky_c into a pair of trousers?
