3 walkers completed this side out walk from Forres to Alves via the community Cafe in Rafford and finishing at the Snug Cafe. We had warm sunny weather with great visibility from Burgie Hill looking over the Moray Firth to Ross-shire, right through to Ben Rinnes to the south east. A great walk with potential to extend it to the coast and back to Forres to make a 25 mile circular. Average moving pace was 3.5mphOther Files
