Exploring Glacial Geomorphology – Glen Roy

This is the third day of a 4 part excursion exploring the geomorphology of the Cairngorms. In part 3 we will be visiting Glen Roy and the famous Parallel roads feature.

The trip will commence at 8:30am at the Roy Bridge / Glen Roy turn off on the A86.

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 will have to make their own accommodation arrangements. We are not able to make a block booking.

Suggested hotels include:

Grant Arms Hotel, Craig Lynne Hotel, Garth Hotel, Ben Mhor Hotel, Carrbridge Hotel, Cairn Hotel if you want to stay near Granton or Carrbridge.

The 3rd day is closer to Roy Bridge so suggested hotels include:

Highland Bridge Hotel, Roy Bridge Hotel. Highlander Hotel, Balavil Hotel, Braeriach hotel, Glen Hotel, Laggan Hotel.

We suggest early booking as hotel or B & B accommodation in this part of the Highlands is likely to be well subscribed in September.
