We begin the walk from the carpark just beyond the Bridge over the Bypass on Bonaly Road. From there, we will walk up the hill to Torduff Reservoir and on up to Clubbiedean Reservoir. Weather permitting, we will then walk round the woods circling the Reservoir before going into old Torphin Hill Golf Course. Our descent leads back to Torduff Reservoir, across that and back to the Bypass, via the path above the Alpacas and the Scout Camp. Again, weather permitting, we will then walk to Dreghorn/ Covenanters Woods, circling round them before returning to the car park.
