Started from Auchallater and headed up Jock's road onto the plateau. From there I went over Tolmount then on to Cairn of Claise and Carn an Tuirc before returning by the track back to the foot of Loch Callater. The much promised sun never really materialised, but at least it stayed dry. The glen was echoing to the sound of braying stags in rut. Higher up the mountain hair and ptarmigan were plentiful. I regretted not taking a bike to cycle up to Loch Callater, as the last half hour down the track was slow and painful. It was a longer run than I anticipated - 4 hour in total, although I wasn't moving very quickly.
