The October walk is a change to the one advertised in the Kirk News.

Route: The walk to Scalan is a shorter walk than normal, with a more physical option added-on to Tom Trumper. The local Ranger will take us on a guided tour of the Scanlan Mills (and seminary) which gives a fascinating glimpse of our rural past.

The walk starts at 11am from the Scalan car park. Flyers are in the church and on our noticeboards. Please let Donald know if you will be joining us – tel: 07909 936472 or email to aberlourwalking@gmail.com by Thursday 6th October. Donald will then email you further details.

Start point: Travel on A98 from Fochabers, turn left under and through viaduct shortly after Cullen Bay Hotel. Park at the Golf Club Car Park.

Route: The route follows good quality tracks and the beach. We will have lunch at picnic tables at Findochty. The only steep section is at the start, when we walk up the viaduct. Please let me know if you would find this difficult, and I will drive you round to a gentler start.

Distance: ~10km (6m), total ascent 180m.

Walk leader: Donald Grassie.
