Walk Report

6 members of the North of Scotland LDWA set out from the Dava Road Junction (A939/A940) on roads towards Lochendorb to gain the farm track that runs south past many abandoned and ruined moorland farms. A new connecting path to Glen Beg was taken that lead into the back of Grantown for our long lunchtime Break. From here we passed through the Castle Grant parklands to link up with the Dava Way which took us back to the start at Dava. An easy loop in good weather, taking 7.5 hours to complete.
