I'd heard rumours that the car park charge at Spittal of Glen Muick was extortionate, so I decided to try cycling the remaining 5km up the glen. However I had problems adjusting the seat on Ruth's bike, and couldn't really ride it at the height it was at, so eventually I gave up and took the car. This at least meant that I was at the start of the walk by about 7 o'clock.
