Due to the bus not being available and the forecast of heavy rain later in the day, the walk to Stonehaven planned for this week has been cancelled.
For those who feel quite deprived if they you do not get their regular walking fix each Wednesday, in place of the planned walk there will be a self drive/car share walk starting from the car park at the House of Dun, Montrose, starting from there at 09:00. There is a 4 kilometre woodland walk starting and finishing at the car park There is also a walk of similar length down to the bird hide at the edge of Montrose basin.
The parking meter at the car park is out of action, but there is a notice that NTS look for a donation of £3 to use the car park (and facilities). There are toilets in the courtyard and there is a cafe that can be accessed by non NTS members.
The plan is to do the woodland walk first, then maybe take refreshments in the cafe, at which time we can decide if we want to try the bird hide walk before the rain comes in. Therefore, this week there is no need to bring a picnic lunch.
