Overview

A quick jaunt up Bennachie - we will go from the Bennachie Centre onto Mither Tap and Oxen Craig, before returning along the Gordon way. The walk is 9km, with 475m of ascent and should take around 2.5 hours.
I plan to take my morning coffee with me, but intend to be back in Aberdeen in time for a late lunch - there are also cafes in Inverurie should anyone wish to stop on the way home!

Please bring sensible clothes - although Bennachie is not particularly high, the wind can be rather chilling up there, so plenty of warm and windproof layers, please!

We will continue to register attendance using the Ramblers App. If you are a Ramblers member, it would be 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
