We are the Inverurie Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Morris A.
From the small (8 car space) car park, follow the grass track over Dead Wife's Hillock, turn left along the track to Cairnbrallan ruins, then a bit of heather bashing to the cairn on Cairnbrallan. Follow the deer fence to Rounamuck Hill, follow a line of grouse butts to (hopefully) meet a track to Reekimlane, and return to the start via tarred road to Aldivalloch. An alternative would be from the same starting point, tarred road to the track past Reekimlane, and past Gauch to Longrigging Hill, back to a track, bit of heather bashing to (hopefully) find the track to Cabrach church, then follow the tarred road back to the start. Less ascent, not so boggy. A final decision on the route will be made nearer the time.
The walk will be co-lead by Dawn Tuckwood.
Booking is essential. Please contact the walk leader Morris using the contact details provided to book, or if you have any questions, by the Thursday evening prior to the walk. Please phone, text or WhatsApp message. Please DO NOT email. 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.

Good walking boots are essential as it is boggy from the cairn to the track down to Reekimlane. Gaiters and poles are recommended. Please bring lunch food and hot drink.
