Forfar & District Hill Walking Club


Upcoming Events
Sunday 8 February
Day Meet - Carn a’ Gheoidh, Glenshee

A circular route covering Carn a' Gheoidh (975m) and Carn Binnein (917m) but avoiding the rather more mundane Cairnwell which may well be very busy with skiers. The total distance is 17km with about 840m of ascent.
See map here.
Meet at the Myre at 7.30am or at Spittal of Glenshee at 8.30 - a slightly different time from the usual but this should make the best use of the available daylight both for travelling and walking. As usual, please let Ray know if you are coming and where you will meet us.
One or two skiers have suggested a bit of cross-country skiing. If there is an interest in this, the skiers could start at the ski car park and meet the walkers on the plateau whereupon we could then walk together down to the Spittal of Glenshee before taking the skiers back to the top car park.
