The IBU cream that i bought yesterday in the local pharmacy certainly helped. Not really good yet, but swelling is down and I see improvements. The break day was really needed.
This little city is packed with tourists, walkers (challengers and others) and lots of campervan‘s. I own one myself (Volkswagen Bulli California), but this is almost getting out of hands here. End of May! Wonder what it will look like in the summer?
Anyway, did a little 4k walk and then send Daniel off to climb the Morone, the house corbett here with wonderful views towards Glenshee, Lochnagar and the Cairngorms (Ben Macdui and Cairn Toul – 2nd and 4th largest mountains in the UK).


Not much else planned today. We organized the food supplies (next three days camping and outdoor cooking), bought some socks (I threw one pair away that were basically destroyed from the sticky blister bandages).
Tonight we will meet up with some other challengers at the Farquardsons Restaurant and then try to go to bed early as we will have a fairly strenuous trip up the Lochnagar Mountains (plan is for 5 Munros tomorrow) and down into Balmoral Estates. I also expect quite a lot of tents at Spittal of Glenmuick.
