32km circuit from Glen Doll. 7/15.PGCE24/02/2024
Circuit via Jock's Road. 3 of 6thekirkie pirate29/08/2023
Pleasant stroll over from Cairn Lunkard. 6th summit of the walk from Glen Doll car park. Descended by Jock's Road, taking the marked detour over the bridge at the forest edge. Good quality waymarked track back to the next main bridge, avoiding ongoing forestry work.LizH18/10/2022

From the visitor centre car park we followed the track alongside the west side of the burn towards Moulzie. Once out of the forest, from the bridge headed straight up to Cairn Broadlands, then easy walk to Craig Mellon (including the cairned top), over the ice and snow to West Corrie, and then SW to Craig Damff. The conditions were so good (no wind, lots of sunshine, easy-going snow) that we carried on over Cairn Damff, across Den of Altduthrie, and up the southern flank of Craigs of Loch Esk. From there it was a simple hop over to Crow Craigies (South Top) and a final summit at Cairn Lunkard. A snow-slide down to the Shelter and a homeward trek along the well constructed Jock's road through Glen Doll ended a superb day (about 6 hrs in total).summitter18/03/2019

Usual round of Mayar & Driesh via Shank of Drumfollow, Driesh first. Extended solo walk northwards to Tom Buidhe, Ca Whims, Tolmount & Crow Craigies. This an excellent extension over easy ground which can be covered quickly. Followed Jock's Road back to the car park, a pleasant & scenic stroll back.
