steady run 1:25:00 [3]
Hill of Fare, west gate, up to plateau, to tower-house then (big mistake) north across valley to track on north edge of plateau. About 17 minutes to cross about 1km, deep heather, bracken and tussocks! Don't go there, ever.
Once on track continued west then south to join route up. Great views of mid-Deeside and a few rain showers scudding down the glen.
Calf totally fine.
