Walk Report

10 LDWA members and 3 guests completed this circular 13 mile route from the Forres in brilliant sub zero winter sunshine. Starting from the Orchard Road car park we walked SW through Sanquhar Woods to the Forres Flood alleviation, then east to more woodland and a short public road section on our way to Rafford VH Cafe for morning refreshments. After tea & cakes we split into two groups of striders and strollers, then headed to more woodland walking through the Altyre Estate and onto Loch of Blairs for Lunch. The home leg was through the Fairy and Sanquhar Woodlands back to Forres.
