Overview

A quick up-and-down on Scolty - bring your coffee and snack, and we'll be back in Aberdeen in time for lunch!

Please remember that clocks go back the night before, so if you're relying on anything that doesn't automatically reset, you'll need to be careful!

We won't take this too fast - I'm out of hill-shape, and need to get back into it, so a good one if you're unsure of your own fitness! Small children do it frequently!

I'm coming from Aberdeen, and can give lifts if anyone needs, but parking is extensive, so not massively worried about car numbers! Parking is Forestry commission and there is a charge.

The walk is just over 4km, with 200m of ascent. Sensible clothes, please, as likely to be wet and cool. Meeting point is the Scolty car park.

We will continue to register attendance using the Ramblers App. If you are a Ramblers member, it would be really helpful if you could either bring your membership card along, or download and login to the Ramblers app. If you are not a Ramblers member, I will ask for your name and contact number/e-mail at the start. ***If this is your fourth or more walk with AYW then you need to have Ramblers membership: http://www.ramblers.org.uk/become-a-member.aspx
