We are the Inverurie Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We start from the layby at the side of B976 at access gate to Loch Ullachie. The route is mainly along forest paths and tracks across moorland and some on landrover track. There can be some short sections off path.
Note the first half of the walk is a steady uphill, with the second half being a return, downhill, along the same route.
The route is quite muddy in places so gaiters are recommended.
Booking is essential. Please contact the walk leader David using the contact details provided to book, or if you have any questions, by the Thursday evening prior to the walk. Please phone or text. If you leave a message please remember to leave your name and contact telephone number. Confirmation of your booking is required for attendance. It is essential for the walk leader to know who is coming on the walk and to be able to contact people should there be any changes. Please remember to contact the walk leader if you are no longer able to attend.
This walk will be co-led by Elaine Mason.
Good walking boots and waterproofs are essential. Also, a hat, gloves, and walking poles are required. Bring food and drinks. Gaiters are recommended.
