Happy Monday, friends! We only managed to get 2 of 4 kiddos out for walk 2 of 48. We headed to an already familiar (and favorite) nearby set of hiking trails, Bennachie. It certainly looks different in winter, but still beautiful!
I do love seeing all the other walks shared in the Facebook group and on Instagram! We’ve even had a few new walkers hop in on the fun. It’s not too late. You can join in anytime and walk with us.
Here are a few of my favorite shots from the walk. Did you get out this weekend?

We were ridiculously happy to see it. The sun makes us giddy!
Details if you go: We parked at the Bennachie Visitor Center and did the hike up Mither Tap. This is our third trip to Bennachie and we’ve managed to park at a different trailhead every time.
I love the 4th & 5th photos of the piled up rock pathway. So cool! Looks beautiful!!
Thanks so much Tina! It’s actually the remains of an old castle/tower fortress. Super cool!

Hi Jane!! I totally remember you! 🙂
Would LOVE for you to join in on #48walks! Here’s the link to the original post about it: http://www.alisonchino.com/2014/01/13/walk-with-me/
Basically, the tag is just a way for everyone to find each other and be encouraged to go for a walk. Anytime, anywhere. For however long. I chose the number 48 because it is four walks a month for the year of 2014. But the number is really arbitrary! You can walk every day, twice a week, whatever you want! The great thing is that whenever I see someone else going for a walk on FB or Instagram or whatever, it reminds me to make time for a walk AND it encourages me! Makes me feel like loads of other folks are walking with me, even though they are far away. 🙂
