Lovely weather so it had to be The Big Map Challenge (part 1)
Straight line from Glen Tanar, through Birsemore and Balfour to home. Direct West to East, almost entirely off tracks, roads and paths.
As expected the first bit was the toughest. Glen Tanar's heather with quite a bit of snow on the higher open bits didn't make life easy, but once through that the rest was all pretty good (bar one thick bit in Balfour). Just the deer for company as didnt see a soul the whole way.
Cheated a wee bit in that I didn't carry the Big Map with me.
