Quick stop on long journey south. The Dalwhinnie 4 milestone is a great help in finding this heather dweller. Pulled up on roadside with hazards on and fairly quickly found the FBM. Seems to be in good order.

Log #73. First log after a two-week hiatus (car troubles and horrendous weather). Peeled off the A9 at the Glentrium/Crubenmore turn-off and followed the road along to the mile marker. Found the benchmark thanks to Rob's directions, only one fence to clamber over. Saw a group of deer running along the hillside under the mast, and my old nemesis, the ScotRail service to Perth.

Found on the way up to Ullapool for a weekend in the West Highlands. The YOSM geocache has visited this FBM so seemed a convenient place to stop off to break the journey up a bit.

Positioned right next to a Mile Stone for Dalwhinnie. Very reminscent of TP0492 Spean Bridge, certainly in its position from the road. Nice quiet lane so no parking issues. Got a funny look from a passing cyclist, but nothing unusual there.

The milestone is a good marker, but the FBM was only just poking above the heather.
