After nearly three years of no walking managed to overnight at the Linn of Dee on the way back from working at Aberdeen Country Fair.
Stopped at the Invercauld Hotel for dinner, wife's price for the detour (did not know that the Fife Arms was closed for refurbishment). Had a good nights sleep in the motor home and set out reasonably earlier in dry weather with a brisk wind.
Straight out and back in 2 hrs 15 mins, few people passed on bikes obviously going up the Glens.
