Hey you made it to Bennachie it’s my happy place. I love walking there. The drone footage is brilliant 😊. My sister Judy loved Bennachie and sadly she died of cancer in 2018, she is buried at chapel of Garioch cemetery beside the old post office cafe over looking Bennachie. It’s beautiful. My favourite is craigshannock parking at rowantree. Glad the toilets were open were closed last time I was there. So windy 🌬️. Shame about the lack of views…you’ll have to come back 😊. Glad you got to go up craigshannock at the end. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
@@angieshand454 thanks Angie, loved climbing Bennachie. Such an interesting hill. I can see why you love it so much. Sorry to hear about your sister, very sad. 😔
Another episode in you're grand 'northeast' adventure.😃 That park up spot in the forest looked really peaceful and special. I dont need to repeat the joy and appreciation of other commentators of walking the many tops, tors, hillforts and views, of this mini moutain range. And lets not forget, the hills place in the heart of Aberdeenshire folklore in the song "O gin I whar the Gadie rins at the back O'Bennachie"
Thanks for bringing back some fond memories, must be nearly twenty years since I last went up Bennachie, I must rectify that shortly... lovely video Linda.
Hi Linda, brilliant vlog. Glad that you made it up on to our beloved Bennachie range, and wow you managed to stand on top of three summits on your first explore. As you describe there is so much history up there you are literally walking in the footsteps of humans over centuries. From the Picts, to the Colonists, to Harthill's cave, the hidden waterfall, the Fog house, the curling pond, the granite quarries. And of course the folklore about our friendly giant Jock o' Bennachie. 😊 There is something new to discover every time you head up. If you are in Aberdeenshire again you can also have a look out for our next loved hill Clachaben. The prominence of Mither tap and Clachaben mean they can be seen from the North Sea and the pair were used by fisherman to aid navigation. Thanks again 😊
@@n_e_scotland wow, most of that history I didn’t know. It’s a very fine mountain range. I’ll add Clachaben to my ‘to do’ list. Thanks for the info & for watching. 👍
Never been there Linda ..Looks amazing 😍..Couldn’t see any camp spots on the summits ..Possible great Bivvy spots though ..Paths look good for the Ebike as well 😁..Cool video Linda Cheers Robert ( Since I’ve know for a while now ..Roberts my Sunday name..Known as Murchie😁👍)
Hi Linda staying at Sandend this week finally got my act together and went to Bennachie on Wedneday 18/9/24, did the identical route to you, so thanks for posting the video. Fantastic views for us, fields magnificent with golden barley. Mither Tap is a great hill seen from the Aberdeen side. Back south tomorrow.
Did this circular route this spring with my son during our holiday. We had a great day with beautiful weather and stunning views. Very nice to see this again. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for another wonderful video ❤ what a stunning walk 😍😍😍
Thanks Kirsten, glad you enjoyed it. 👍

@@murchiesmountains2820 aww, thanks Murchie. Yeah, the summits consist of slabs of rocks. No good for pitching a tent. 👍
Just stumbled across your channel. Really enjoyed the walk. Lovely video.
Thanks so much. Welcome to the channel. 👍
