Burn O'Vat and Culblean Circuit, nr Ballater

After a more restful nights sleep and a good breakfast we headed off on a 4 mile walk which took in the Burn O'Vat - a geological wonder where we climbed through pink granite boulders to a watery pool.

It was another sunny day- we have been so lucky with the weather this past week.  Leaving the Burn O'Vat we continued up the path to join the Culblean route and made our way through some lovely woodland strewn with Dragonflies.

Eventually we came out at the road and glimpsed Loch Davan.

We got back to the car after about 2 hours walking.  As it was Blair's Birthday (39 today!, 39 today!) we went for coffee and cake before starting off on our second walk of the day.
