14th May
A damp night but only some light drizzle during the day.
There were three other TGO'ers coming up the glen as I set off and we walked together on and off until they turned off for Aviemore.

| View down the glen from some house ruins |
Glen Markie is even better than I had been told, grassy walking, not steep and great scenery.
 |
| A bit boggy |
It was a bit boggy at the top of the glen and there is an old bothy near the watershed that is usable in an emergency.
 |
| The bothy |
I had just prepared a small hole in the ground, for the usual purpose, when a Golden Eagle appeared overhead, circled back to see what I was up to and then had the decency to continue his journey.
 |
| The Findhorn (near the source) |
The River Findhorn starts near here, although it and my route went down from bog to rocky riverside path before becoming a grassy track.
 |
| Track by the Findhorn |
A good track from Dalbeg and then minor road to Dalmigavie where I turned onto another track and found a pitch in a rather sheepy area.

| Bridge over the Findhorn at Dalmigavie |
18.5 miles walked 600 meters ascent
