With a yellow warning of rain, and the tall ships ahoy in Aberdeen, fortunately a few stout and seaworthy pirates disdained the joys of queuing an hour for a 20 quid burger down at the docks and headed off inland for adventure.
Starting off at Glen Tilt car park we passed a race in progress (last man standing multi-day ultra loop thing) then into the drizzle first through woods then out into the open glen. Passing the site of geological discovery (Hutton 1785), an unusual canoe lost in the woods, and a waterfall where the Andor Star Wars series was filmed, the group passed Dun Beag to Glen Tarf, and in heavy rain made their way upstream to the bothy, where they were glad to get the stove kindled and cosy.
The next day they split with one return route in poor visibility over munro Carn a Chlamain, making it back down to the Tilt now in full flow. A meal stop in Blair Atholl then the drive home.
