Fetteresso Forest There are occasional gaps in the plantations, probably firebreaks, though the trees are pretty close to one another on either side of this one. Had the tree cover not been quite so dense, Hill of Blacklodge would have been on the skyline.

Bench by the Track I had just begun to feel the need to sit down and retie my bootlaces, when I came across this handily sited bench by a sharp bend in the track. The view isn't the world's greatest, but at least the conifer plantations here are not hard by the track, so there is a slightly more open aspect to enjoy.
