The minibus will be leaving Aberdeen at 7am, and can pick up on route through Deeside to Braemar. Starting at Auchallater, there are options for both long and short hikes. There’s an easy track to the bothy beside Loch Callater, and from there it’s not far to the Corbett, Creag nan Gabhar. The main target for those looking for a longer outing will be munro Tolmount, along Jock’s Road to the head of Glen Callater. If conditions are “in”, there may be the possibility to do a gully ascent from Loch Kander. Of course, you may wish to take it easier and just chill at the bothy, with a great view over the loch.
Our previous outing to Tolmount was in February 2017, where we had a very wintery day out. Download Trip Report.
