Screel

4.79 miles,  2hr 8min,      326m
Nice weather (no rain), but a little wet underfoot….but this is D&G.

We set off with the aim following the forest track up and coming back through the “enchanted forest” section. I would normally have gone up the steep bit and down the less steep Glen of Screel Burn. This time we did it clockwise so to speak. The Glen was pretty mushy following forestry work and felling but not enough to wet our feet. I do like Screel. You feel that you have achieved something getting up it and the views, particularly over towards Almoress are worth a couple of hours walking. See above.

Then coffee in The Glenisle Inn, Palnackie (thank you, Jo)
