Had a flex day so decided to "run" morrone

drove to Braemar after lunch and prked opposite the Fyfe Arms.

Started off jogging until the dirt path got really steep and then started to power walk keeping heart rate at temp level.

The climb was pretty uninspiring as the path was badly erroded. Once I was near the top the views of the cairngorms opened up and were great. I stopped for a few pictures before heading down the landy track which cuts a big scar down the back.

The descent track was fine o run on until I reached the road along the golf course and ran back to the car
