| Hiking,
Walking and Hillwalking
Walkers have a wide choice. There are field, river, moor, wood,
forest, hill or mountain walks available in the surrounding
area. You can take a circular walk around Dulnain Bridge, taking
in woods, fields and rivers, all the time with changing views
of the hills, which would take an hour. A whole day walk could
take you through the Lairig Ghru, a gigantic cleft in the Cairngorms,
or to one or more of the Munro tops. A favourite day walk climbs
up through the Chalamain Gap which was a glacial overspill in
the last Ice Age. It's quite dry underfoot now, but huge boulders
have been left to clamber over.
In winter and spring, and when the heather is in flower in August,
the hills are particularly beautiful. Scottish law allows almost
100% freedom to walk anywhere.
Skiing
Skiers can watch (through binoculars!) others on the slopes
from Dulnain Bridge. It's just 35 minutes to the Cairngorm Ski-fields
- Scotland's most comprehensive downhill ski facilities, or
The Lecht skifields are just 30 minutes away.
Cross Country Skiers can take off from the village
when the conditions are right.
Fishing
Fishing for salmon on Private Beats on the Spey, Avon or Findhorn
can usually be arranged, but a cheaper option is fishing either
on the Public Beats on the Spey, or catching trout one of the
many nearby Lochs.
Tuition and equipment hire is also available locally. |
