Knock of Lawsie, The Maim, Geallaig Hill and Creag na Creiche from The Strone road. Also detoured to the prominent cairn at the western end of Geallaig's summit ridge. Glorious views of Lochnagar's snowy Northern corrie.Nick Down107/05/2021
24 mins return jog on a good track from Geallaig trig. Shafts of golden sunlight came through the clouds glinting off the Dee below. After a 6km hatless jog with a cold wind from starboard my right ear was feeling rather numb - happy to turn around and give the left ear its turn. Stomach not feeling 100% -managed the 6km slow jog back west to the road top -mostly downhill but only 12 mins quicker than upward leg.Chris Pearson16/09/2020
From the Old Military Road, following the tracks in a circular route as they went over or by Geallaig, Creag na Creiche, The Maim, and Knock of Lawsie. Very impressed by the amount of pine and birch re-asserting itself on this otherwise barren hillside.summitter05/09/2020
