After a
quick trip up Craiglich earlier, this was the second of two nice wee Aberdeenshire hill runs. Mission accomplished of getting to the top and back without getting wet, but I did lose my Fitbit somewhere on the way

This has been my health saver since I started working from home, telling me I need to get off my backside and do some exercise, so hopefully there's a grouse or rabbit on the hill looking after it now, while I buy a new one…
I followed
Tom Craggs' advice and parked in the disused quarry at the high point on the B9119. From here, Benaquhallie looked very enticing in a brief moment of sunshine!

So I crossed the road, headed down the track, through the gate and immediately struck left up the E side of the fence and over Tulloch Hill. The route to the top was straightforward—follow the rough ATV track all the way, keeping to the S of the fence/dyke, through a nice wee stand of pines, and then more steeply through heather to the summit trig.

I went over to inspect the elaborate cairn to the S; it's certainly an interesting design…

I retraced my steps, almost literally, as I had my eyes to the ground looking for the pesky fitbit, but it was gone

It was pretty breezy by now, but stayed dry, so I returned to the car at least knowing I'd done some exercise even if there was one less gadget to give me praise for it

Overall, a really nice couple of afternoon runs in one of my favourite parts of Scotland.
