Walk Report

This was a special 15 mile pop up walk for our Speyside 100 visitors making a bit of a holiday out of their trip to the Highlands. 5 LDWA members took part in this circular walk from Aberlour to Little Conval (553m) and Dufftown, with cafe stops at the Coffee Pot and the Mash Tun. Drizzle with a short boggy track on the woodland section made for a damp morning, but things got drier and brighter in the afternoon for our walk back to Aberlour from the Coffee Pot stop at Dufftown. Refreshments and a wee social in the Mash Tun Hotel when we got back to Aberlour. Many thanks to Jenny, Fiona, John and especially Tara who had done the 100, so it was absolutely amazing that she was up for a 15 mile walk after all that.
