Thought that everyone would be up at Braemar, so headed up to Loch Muick to find the whole world had done the same and cp was full! Parked along the road and headed out the S side of the loch (nobody to be seen very soon) then up the path towards Dubh Loch. Legs not feeling great on the climb but ok otherwise. From Dubh Loch climbed to the top of Bhoidheach. Lots of big fat hare and a dotterel (?). Took long enough to get to there so skirted round Lochnagar to rejoin the tourist path for the descent. Lovely day and nice to be out with J without being in a rush (managing to forget part 2 of the day).

Refuel at the Bothy then time to hang some controls for training at Dalliefour. Disappointed to find the gate at the track end locked, necessitating an extra 2km jog in and out. Shuffling at the start but loosened after a while and really quite enjoyed it. Lovely bit of forest up the top of the Knock.
