Sunny Day in Cromdale - Blonde, Brunette and Ginge
Route: Creagan a' Chaise, Cromdale Hills
Fionas: Creagan a' Chaise
Date walked: 18/04/2015
Time taken: 4 hours
Distance: 16km
As we knew we have a long weekend available, we planned this walk in advance. We were slightly put off by the snow in higher mountains, so, as inexperienced walkers, we decided to walk up a smaller hill. Cromdale is just 45 min away from Elgin, where we stay, so decided to go for the Cromdale Hills.
Not many reports on this one, such a shame, because it is definitelly a route worth taking. Great views on many summits in the area and even further, amazing view on Spey valley and quite an easy walk, despite lack of good paths.
But let me begin from the start
We got up earlier on saturday, took Ellie dog and drove to Cromdale. Turning left, just before the lights and little bridge in Cromdale, the single track road led us to the bottom of the hills. We left the car before Wester Rynaballoch, just pass the small patch of trees and just beside some forestry work area. Luckily, on Saturday, no works were in progress.
We walked back through the trees. There was a little cottage on the right, we turned left , pass the big gate onto a wide, farm track.
