Did 6 out of 7 of the Bennachie range + Little Oxen Craig. Tap O Noth was chancey last week as well but for a change no injuries to report! :-) At Satter Hill my first attempt was thwarted by a blizzard, Tillyching was good tho. drewbhoy Posted by drewbhoy

Like the look of this hillfort D. Must try to factor in some of these Aberdeenshire hills some time. Trouble is there are too many RSCs around as well. GLADMAN Posted by GLADMAN

Mither Tap is good, Tap O Noth and Barmekin are also well worth a visit. drewbhoy Posted by drewbhoy

DB, you really must attempt Cnoc an Duin.

My job changed last November and I'm getting absolutely no opportunity to get out and about. The job is great - a promotion but I am really suffering from a lack of cairns and the great outdoors - seriously, your posts are making me extremely jealous. Most of my family come from Aberdeenshire farming stock so your posts strike a chord.

Friends and I are planning the complete Strathrory Drove road this summer -I havent mentioned the extra climb to this hill fort - they really wouldnt understand!! but please feel free to join us.

Last attempted the Drove Road in December 09, too wet, too cold and too little light - really needs a complete summer day. I kennel my dog at Dalnaclach at the east end of the drove road every few weeks - makes me even more determined to tackle Cnoc an Duin. strathspey Posted by strathspey
