Overview

A Moderate (lower end) low level countryside walk at a steady pace for the distance.  The route starts by heading south from Rhynie, across the Water of Bogie, then turning east via Barflat and Druminor Castle.  We then have to walk single file on the public road for a mile or so, turning off north at Bankhead, walking past several farms to Kennethmont.  After a very short road section here, we are back on tracks past Tayloch and Bogend.  The route continues via Castlehill, returning to the Clatt road to very soon reach Rhynie again.

Type: Circular walk along mostly good tracks and roads through undulating farm countryside.  This is not a hilly walk.

The route description may change following a reconnaissance.
