Decided to stay fairly local.
En route to Dunkie my 1st job was to find a supermarket shelf with skimmed milk on it - got some at my 3rd attempt in Tesco Blairgowrie.
Not sure what to expect today (other peeps) with the various warnings and the schools being off.
Headed up the main track just after 8:30am, high cloud meant no sunshine but a decent morning. Still a fair bit of work being done to the track so a couple of diggers to walk round before Mill Dam.
Nearer Loch Ordie it was surprising how much the track had improved in a week of dry weather meaning the bog was gone along the side of the loch.
As usual I carried on to the bridge a mile north of Loch Ordie for a quick 5 minute stop before turning and retracing my steps.
Noticeably cooler and windier on the way back with very few people around.
Quite surprising to see that the car park was full when I got back, there must have been a lot of peeps on the other tracks this morning.
