Bennachie in January, #48walks, Scotland, Highlands

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?

The sun seemed like it was trying to break through the clouds all day, and we got a little bit of glorious glow at the very end of our hike. 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.

        1. 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. 🙂
