Dee-ciders Walking Group

IT doesn't seem long since the last issue of the Culter Courier, but the Dee-Ciders have had four walks. We managed to fit in three walks in May, one in the Durris area, and two in Upper Deeside - one from Inverey to a lovely spot between the Cristie and Connie Burns, and the other to Mortlich Hill, Aboyne, when the farmer advised us of an easier ascent than we had intended.

At the time of writing, we are the midst of a heat-wave and although on each of three May walks the weather was not exactly brilliant it was not unkind, so we had enjoyable walks. Our last walk before breaking far summer was on 13th June to the Shooting Greens at Finzean - a shortish walk followed by buffet picnic lunch courtesy of one of our members (thanks). Now that was a brilliant day in all ways - walk, weather, food, fun and company, We could not have asked for better, but all good things have to end, so with shouts of `Have a good holiday' we parted company for a few weeks.

 On 8th August, hopefully all refreshed and raring to go, we head for Millstone Hill (Bennachie) to begin our new programme.
