Clachnaben Sunday Run - Glen Dye Start Point

Details

Car parking for Sunday's Glen Dye run is near Spital Cottage (ruin) and not the usual car park for Clachnaben. The grid reference is NO 6456884398 and it is over 2 miles south of the usual quarry car park. Coming over from the Banchory end of the Military Road, you will cross Bridge of Dye, keep going past the snow gates up the hill and down, eventually crossing a small bridge. Take the track dropping down to the river on your right hand side. The track is a little rutted at the top but it smooths out after a few metres. Follow the track down and there is usually plenty of parking at the bottom. Suggest heading up Glen Dye and up to Mount Battock from the head of the glen. From there, head back along the ridge towards Clachnaben.

Folk can either do the full ridge or escape back down into Glen Dye halfway along the ridge. The only downside is that Glen Dye is a shooting estate and most of this run will be on broad access tracks with very little "off-piste". 

It would be good to car share. Meet at Kingswells Park & Ride at 08:40
