Event Details
This is the third day of a 4 part excursion exploring geomorphology west of the Cairngorms. In part 3 we will be visiting Glen Roy and the famous Parallel roads feature.
The trip will commence at 9:30am at the Glen Roy viewpoint (NN 297 853). Locations to be visited are:
- Glen Roy overlook
- Walk to shorelines (the parallel roads)
- Drive to the end of the glen to see the delta fan.
If you wish to attend, please contact our Excursions Secretary, Rosemary Feilden, by email (excursions@aberdeengeolsoc.org.uk)
As a precaution, because this is a big area, we ask that all participants have a map of the area (OS Landranger 34, Explorer 400), a compass and a whistle.
Note that participants must make their own accommodation arrangements.
We anticipate having a group dinner at 7:30pm in the Cairn Hotel, Carrbridge on the Sunday evening
