Itinerary description

*** Note: at July 2023, there are fallen trees to negotiate at various points. The path at Waypoint 28 is badly overgrown with gorse. We suggest returning downhill on the tarred road from Waypoint 26 to re-start the route at Waypoint 29. ***

This is a walk of two halves. The first section is through a variety of woodland types, with some open views. The second half is mostly through an open landscape with great countryside views as far as the eye can see. The view from Brimmond Hill over Aberdeen is impressive. Duration: 3.5 hours.
