Today, we are back just north of Deeside in Glen Cluny which goes from Braemar to the Glenshee Ski Centre. Our walk is a through-one so any walkers wanting a shorter or different one please make your intentions known to the committee member in charge of the bus, prior to you leaving.
Our walk commences at the parking space (NGR 145 806) just below the road which climbs to the Glenshee Ski Centre. Walk back from the bus to cross the road bridge towards the signpost for the Monega Pass on your left. Take this track which heads southwards before heading eastwards at a footbridge.
