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.

Run round Creag Choinnich to check on vegetation. Mighty little bracken and mostly short and scattered. Will be a great area next year.
Right calf not fully recovered - lots of little tweaks from around it. Also started getting zingers in right buttock again in afternoon - probably from gate/fence building...

Long hilll session with S in Dess Woods. to top of quarry pond each time 1 from DAP carpark, then from waterfall and ski slope, then from Deeside Way bridge.
Felt desperate on warm-up but got moving OK if unspectacular in the session. Good long hills so set off each one at less than max effort and gradually ramped up the effort.
