Solo walk. Of work due to work-related stress. It was to be a lovely day so took the opportunity. Dropped Susan off at her work and drove up. Started walking at 11:00. Beautiful day. Sunny. Warm. Barely a could in the sky. Saw mountain hares, frogs, various birds, butterflies. Met a couple on mountain bikes and a girl/young woman on Tom Buidhe. The Walkhighlands route meant for a LONG day and I'm not sure the circuit added much to it but it did afford some great views up Glen Callater and of Corrie Kander which would have been missed otherwise. A bike would be an idea! Might have been better coming from the Cairnwell direction. Had to charge the car in Braemar but the chippy was closing. Got a fish supper in Blairgowrie. Found the charging point, eventually, and confirmed it's not working. Charged again at Broxden. Didn't get home till close to midnight. Photo album https://photos.app.goo.gl/uEpWvCEHZ3ovZXoA8
