The ‘Coloured’ Hills of Alford. With an 8am start for our minibus from St Margarets, this polychromatic meet includes the Green, White, Red and Black Hills south-east of Alford. Starting at a farm track off a back road to the south, we go past Ewens Croft, and ascend Green Hill on a mix of track and footpath, then descend NNE to White Hill (some heather; trig point). Then NW over open grassland to the abandoned farmstead of Culthibert, then a twisty landrover track back up to a col below Green Hill before heading SW up to Corrennie Moor and Red Hill. From here, down past a stone circle to Forkins, for a short stretch of road/track before a short diversion over lowly Black Hill (which we might do first) near the starting point. The almost figure-of-eight route would allow short cuts to omit White Hill and/or Red Hill. To book, contact Ken Thomson.
