SUMMARY:Lecht Mine\, Coire Buidhe and Carn Mor
DESCRIPTION:Join Ranger Rob Cochrane to explore the unique industrial\, cultural and natural heritage of Coire Buidhe\, and bag the Corbet summit of Carn Mor in the process! \nMeeting at the Well of Lecht carpark\, we will set off along the historic smuggling route up onto Carn Dulack\, above Coire Buidhe. As we climb we will have a fantastic birds-eye view of the historic Lecht Mine and the associated earth works\, which provide an insight into how industrialisation rapidly changed the face of this part of Moray. \nOnce up high\, we’ll leave the path behind and traverse a broad ridge which gradually climbs up through an impressive montane blanket bog. On a sunny day we will be treated to an impressive display of Odenata (damsel and dragonflies) as well as sightings of some unique and highly specialised botany and bird life. \nWith expansive views at out backs on a clear day\, we will then branch off onto the main summit ridge of the ladder hills to tag the broad peak of Carn Mor (804m)- the highest point on Glenlivet Estate\, and a Corbet. From here we can look down on mosaic of land uses\, showcasing the true diversity and value that Moray’s rural economy contributes to Scotland. \nFrom here we’ll turn back on ourselves and make our way south\, towards the expansive view of the North Cairngorms\, before decending back into Coire Buidhe via an off-path route. We will then end the day by visiting the historic Lecht Mine workings themselves before making out way back to the cars.

SUMMARY:Glenfiddich and Blackwater Lodge by E-bike
DESCRIPTION:This ride is aimed cyclists who are competent on a bike but are looking for some extra support or company to go on a longer adventure. There is a real mix of terrain on this ride\, including tarmac\, dirt\, wind farm roads and rough land rover tracks with multiple small river crossings. Although most of the terrain is well-surfaced track\, participants should be aware that some sections are loose rock\, including one steep descent down to the Suie. You will be accompanied by a trained MTB leader\, and we will individually assess these sections when we come across them\, and the worst sections and river crossings can be walked if required. Even though the e-bike will help you up hills\, you still need to be prepared to be in the saddle most of the day. \nYou can either bring along your own e-bike or hire one from the DDCA via https://dufftowncommunity.co.uk/community-type/bikes/ A Mountain bike is required for this ride. A helmet is essential if attending and gloves and eye protection are strongly advised along with padded shorts. \nThroughout the day we will also take the time to look out for wildlife which could include Red Deer\, Hen Harriers\, Merlin\, Mountain Hare\, Golden Eagles and White-tailed Eagles.

SUMMARY:Glenfiddich to Glenlivet
DESCRIPTION:Join the Rangers from Dorenell Ranger Service and Glenlivet Ranger Service for a walk up the River Fiddich all the way to its source\, then over the watershed to meet the River Livet. We’ll park at the finish point in Glenlivet and be transported by coach to the start at Bridgehaugh\, south of Dufftown. The route will follow Moray core path SP29\, going past Glenfiddich Lodge and up Glenfiddich itsel\,f where we’ll have an opportunity to see Elf House cave and the McHardy stone. Once up on the watershed\, we’ll hopefully have views across to the Cairngorms before following the Suie Burn down to the River Livet and out to Glenlivet. \nAlong the route\, the Rangers will talk about the Cultural and Natural History of the area and will be on hand to point out any wildlife along the route\, which could include Red Deer and various birds of prey\, including Golden Eagles and White-tailed Eagles. \nAlthough starting off on a patchy tarmac track\, the route is mainly rough\, landrover tracks with a number of small streams and river crossings. A larger river crossing towards the end can be avoided by a bridge further upstream but walkers should come prepared for potentially wet feet. \n\nMark Johnston is Head Ranger for the 23000ha Glenlivet Estate. The Crown Estate acquired Glenlivet (now managed by Crown Estate Scotland) in 1937\, which today comprises over 30 let farms\, 1500 acres of commercial forests and a sporting tenancy including grouse moors\, salmon fishing and deer stalking. \nStephen Reeves is Head Ranger for the Dorenell Ranger Service\, set up by EDF Renewables in July 2019 as part of the Dorenell Wind Farm on the Cabrach and Glenfiddich estate. Based at the Dorenell Wind Farm Visitor Centre\, the Rangers are responsible for delivering the Access Strategy and Habitat Management Plan whilst delivering environmental education and guided walks in the Cabrach and surrounding area.

SUMMARY:Cromdale Hills from Avonside
DESCRIPTION:Join the Estate Ranger on a day’s hillwalking to this relatively unfrequented part of Glenlivet. Making our way from West Avonside\, we’ll start big and ascend to the highest point in the Cromdales\, Creagan a’ Chaise. At 722m this is classified as a Fiona which is a mountain in Scotland between 2000 & 2500 feet high – these were previously known as Grahams. Near the trig point at the top is a rather large Cairn built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. \nFrom there we will traverse the ridge also taking in the nearby Coronation Cairn\, built to commemorate the crowning of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandria in 1902. On a clear day\, the views from the ridge are excellent looking to the Cairngorms and across Speyside. We will continue to take in the lesser summits of Carn Eachie and Carn a Ghille Chearn before making a rough descent back towards Knock farmhouse and onwards to the Car Park. \nThis walk will hopefully provide opportunities to see moorland birds and deer while crossing typical northeast Scotland hill and moorland territory. \nThe terrain will be a mix of rough track and heather moorland\, involve some steep climbs and take us into a remote\, exposed country. Please be prepared with appropriate clothing and plenty of food and water. A reasonable level of fitness and the knowledge that you are able to handle this type of terrain is required.
