Overview

We will meet at the Benrinnes Distillery ( Visitor’s Car Park is at the rear of the Building ).  This will be a linear walk so the leader will arrange with some of the drivers to move cars to the end of the route. 

Terrain: Good tracks at first.  Boggy and heathery paths on the upper sections, some deeper heather – paths faint in places.  Quite steep descent with loose gravel in parts.
