Walk Report

2 members of the NofS LDWA group joined the Moray Mountaineering Club bus to Drumochter. We got off at Cuaich (Layby 94) and walked to Kingussie via hill tracks and General Wade's military road to Ruthven Barracks and then onto the Duke of Gordon Hotel. We had time to do an additional 1 mile local walk in Kingussie before the MMC bus came to pick us up from the hotel bar.
