  • Autumn Newsletter 2014
    Aberdeen Hillwalking Club Autumn Newsletter 2014 Chairman’s Chat From the issue of this newsletter, we will be almost at the end of another club walking season. We have been fortunate with the weather this year, having experienced an excellent summer and hopefully the “batteries” are recharged before the onset of winter. Now is the time to start planning for next year’s walks and we welcome any suggestions to include in our future programme. Please send your suggestions to our secretary or pass them on to any committee member for consideration. I started thinking about this article while on a short break at our “bolt hole” at Boat of Garten where we enjoyed a quiet and restful few days (and also grandchildren free!) Speyside is an area we are familiar with and particularly enjoy and of course is an area we frequent for club outings. This year alone, we have had day outings through the Lairig Ghru, Glen Feshie, Nethybridge to Glenmore, and more recently walked part of the Dava Way from Dunphail to Grantown on Spey. Speyside appears to have its own microclimate, coupled with majestic scenery, wonderful forests, high hills and that magic effect of light and colour which in my view appears to be more intense as compared with that on Deeside or Donside. Having just finished reading Nan Shepherd’s iconic book “the Living Mountain”, an anthology of the Cairngorms, her writing echoes many of my thoughts about the pleasures of hillwalking and the sense of wellbeing achieved through this pastime. This book was written in the 1930’s, though not published until 1977, but her writings are as relevant today as they were those many years ago and follows a similar style and passion as that of John Muir, famed as the father of American conservation and founder of the American National Parks.

  • A Cairngorm Diary Monday, 25 July, 1932
    A Cairngorm Diary 24th -29th July, 1932 Written ‘en route’ by James Nicoll Kerr Henderson (1908-1989) Monday, 25th July, 1932 Wakened at 7.40 a.m. by JJ asking me to go for water - the porridge are getting too thick. However breakfast was a great success, as was the following shave using a biscuit tin lid for a mirror. About 10.30 a.m., we swept the bothy, shouldered our rucksacks and set out for the head of the glen. There we beheld Loch Einich looking dark but transparent and walled in by huge peaks of rock. Our path now rose steeply South-East over the shoulder of Braeriach and by noon, when we looked back to the North-West, we were rewarded for our climb by magnificent views of Glen Einich and Rothiemurchus Forest beyond. Needless to say, the camera was in full operation. As we climbed, our packs became heavier and our stomachs lighter, until we reached Corrie Garbh about 2 p.m. and 4000 feet above sea level. Here we decided to have lunch. Gosh it was cold! But hot tomato soup, cold meat and peas and then fruit salad for dessert soon made things better. Thereafter we decided to dump our rucksacks at this point for later collection. So, having tied a white handkerchief to each of them, we headed off for Angel Peak and Cairn Toul, 3950 and 4241 feet respectively. 6 Our way lay eastwards, round the vast Corries which separate Cairn Toul and Braeriach, up Angel Peak, down the other side and then up Cairn Toul.

The proposal is for the temporary siting (this summer for up to 12 weeks) of a group of 3 accommodation units that will be used for housing a work party that is to carry out footpath repair work in the Lairig Ghru, running up to the boundary of Mar Lodge Estate with Rothiemurchus. Work has been carried out in previous years on the path adjacent to the burn on the climb up to the beallach between Macdui and Carn a’ Mhaim. This is part of a continuing programme of work on Mar Lodge Estate, which has consisted of similar exercises in other Glens over previous years. The Park Authority has granted permission for units on the same site in the previous two years. It is understood that this is likely to be the last time that consent would be sought in this location as the programme for this year is to finish off the works on the Larig Ghru path up to the Rothiemurchus boundary.

Useful Information..…………………..……………. Walking Section……………………………….………. Things to do and places to visit………………. Cycling, Horse riding, Fishing Activity Parks, Water sports, Skiing Castles, Coffee shops, Distilleries Wildlife, Art Centres and museums Welcome Eileen, Dave and all of our team at The Boat Inn would like to offer you a very warm welcome. We know how precious time is and want you to be able to enjoy as much as possible that Aboyne and Aberdeenshire has to offer whilst staying with us. We have worked with the fantastic guided walking service, Hillgoers, to put together a brochure with all of our favourite things (as well as a bit of necessary information!). If you can’t find what you need please just ask a member of the team - we will always do our best to meet any requests. The Boat Inn has sat on the banks of the River Dee since 1720 where it traditionally offered thirsty drovers sustenance and shelter after what could often be, a rocky ferry crossing over The Dee. The bridge was first built in the 1930’s, making the crossing much safer and easier for getting cattle to and from the local market but the need for sustenance has fortunately remained! We are a family run business in the heart of the community in Aboyne.

  • Walking in the Cairngorms
    WALKING IN THE CAIRNGORMS About the Author Ronald Turnbull (seen here at the Shelter Stone) is based in southern Scotland, with a particular interest in long backpacking trips through the Highlands. He first slept under the Shelter Stone above Loch Avon in June 1988, and was impressed not only by the situation and the view but by the way it snowed on him overnight. However, his connection with the Cairngorms goes back further. He only exists because the ice of Loch Avon, crossed during a thaw by a direct ancestor, did not collapse. He writes frequently for the main UK walking magazines; his previ- ous book for Cicerone, The Book of the Bivvy, won the Outdoor Writers’ Guild Award for best outdoor book 2002. He has completed the 42-peak Bob Graham Round in the Lake District, and also likes hot, rocky, Spanish- speaking bits of Europe. For this book he has particularly enjoyed the ram- bles through Badenoch and Rothiemurchus Forest, and revisiting all four of the Lochans Uaine.
