A first date idea
Bennachie and the Mither Tap
The Mither Tap Timeline Trail from the Bennachie Centre, near Chapel of Garioch, is the shortest way to the top and takes about two and three quarter hours. It is steep and rough, and the summit rock is slippery when wet, so wear good boots. The visitor centre is closed for the winter and reopens in spring, but the car park and trails stay open.
