This was a fourteen mile walk although it felt like 22. Starting at 10am we were walking until 5.30pm with only a couple of half-hour breaks. The terrain was variable, not 'difficult' as such, but you had to watch every step and "look after your ankles" (as I was told many moons ago and have remembered religiously since). En route the weather changed often and there were such clear spells that at one point (it's in the photos but not adjusted for the correct distance) you could see the sea, 30 miles away, and
Lochnagar - 60 miles inland. The timber shelters tucked into the hillside (a close-up is included) are 'Grouse Butts'.
The scenery tells the story of the walk . . .
