Strathdon

Coulvoulin Hill: Parked at the side of the A944 Alford to Corgarff Road beside the junction with the minor road to Edinglassie and walked briefly east along the A944 before leaving it and heading north through the trees using vehicle tracks.  I later left these tracks and continued through the wood to the summit of the Tump, Coulvoulin Hill. The return was by the ascent route.

Hill of Tornahaish: I left my carat the side of the A939 Ballater to Corgarff Road just south of its junction with A944 Alford to Corgarff Road and walked west along the track on the south side of the River Don. I later crossed a fence then climbed through long heather to reach the summit of the Tump, Hill of Tornahaish. The return route was slightly to the east descending through the forest to reach the track beside the River Don.

Tom a’ Gharraidh: From the A939 Corgarff to Tomintoul Road, east of Cockbridge Farm, ascended the Tump, Tom a’ Gharraidh. I then retraced my upward route.

Hill of Allargue: Parked at the side of the A939 Corgarff to Tomintoul Road, south of the Lecht Ski Centre, and walked east along a vehicle track to the summit of the Tump, Hill of Allargue. The return was by the approach route.
