From SE, Belwade Farm, Horse Rescue Centre, open Wed - Sun 11-4, I was a bit after 4, visitor centre closed, I parked and followed farm walks signs, track L of house and up to summit, limbo under electric fence for HP 2m back. Supposed to buy tickets online, I put my £3 in the box. | RHW | 01/10/2023 |

Late afternoon after work in Aboyne, with a welcome return of warm sunny weather. Summit surprisingly easily reached following the 'blue horseshoe' trail from the World Horse Welfare Centre who have just opened here a large award winning visitor centre which explains their work in rescueing , rehabilitating and if possible rehoming horses. An info board alongside my walk told me all I need to know about horse lice. Summit mound was tantalisingly just the other side of electric fence in (horse-less) pasture. I could probably have squeezed through the gaps between the strands -but safer to go beyond summit and turn left downhill (yellow horseshoe route) for 150m to field gate into pasture and back up to avoid risking a nasty shock - especially as it was Friday the 13th. | Chris Pearson | 13/09/2019 |
