Surveying 5 hours - interesting bit of forest, old map missing lots of detail in what were thick areas (in 1989) which are now lovely runnable forest. Its going to be a cracking area - and new to most people.

Hill session up Fungle, set off and felt terrible warming up from Aboyne. Decided to aim for 8 x1+1, did this and possibly would have done a couple more - if my watch had more than 8 laps! As it was I couldn't face resetting it and waiting for another start. returned via Birsemore and Queens Loch, then onto hill to east - never visited this before - A new area next to Aboyne! Some lovely contour shapes and bits of rock, mix of mature plantation, young-ish larch and cattle birch wood (well chewed up!).

12 mins to start of hills, then extended run back.
