I wake up and emerge from my tent to find that an army of midges has descended on it, time for a swift exit then. I also find I've left my GPS on all night, will have to use it sparingly until I can get some new batteries. It is another twenty mile day today, hopefully a little easier than yesterday.

Well, for the first few miles I walk down a rather pleasant glen, then cross the Dee again. I walk past Balmoral, or at least the visitor car park, and a policeman guarding whichever royals are in residence. Then up into the hills again, past the Lochnagar distillery - shame I can't stop. From here it is only a short climb, and the another glen takes me down to today's destination, Ballater.

Nice place, has a few pubs of which I check out a couple, but most surprisingly it has a really excellent curry house, the Lochnagar, where I enjoy a rather tasty balti.
