| DATE | ROUTE | DISTANCE/ASCENT | DETAILS | OS MAP |
| Mon 21 Jan | Meikle Carewe (266m) | 8km, 200m. | Near Stonehaven, the windfarm not yet approved so still an attractive walk; will include West Raedykes Roman camp and ring cairns dating from 3000-2000BC. | OS45 |
| Mon 18 Feb | Mona Gowan (619m) | 9km, 380m. | This is a charming walk in Strathdon, mainly track with some roughish walking; beware the deer fence (no overweight dogs, please). | OS37 |
| Mon 17 Mar | Kerloch (534m) | 11km, 450m. | We'll try a different route, A-B, from the west, will include 2km offpath through heather but otherwise lots of nice FC track. | OS45 |
| Mon 21 Apr | Peter's Hill (568m) | 17km, 326m. | A longish walk under Morven, mainly track and path, lovely descent through regenerating pine forest. | OS37 |
| Mon 26 May | Ailnack Gorge | 17km, 400m. | The route lies above the gorge, and includes a burn crossing. There's 4km on tarmac, so I may change the route if asked nicely, tho' this loses the burn. | OS36 |
| Mon 23 Jun | Lochnagar The Hard Way | 23km, 950m. | This is a route from the north, it looks tough, there's lots of offpath and boulders, please see Linda, Marianne or Maggie for the gory details. There is an easy track option of 20km, that approaches the hill but doesn't go up. | OS44 |
| Mon 21 Jul | Tom Buidhe (957m) | 17km, 800m. | Another big hill, a circular walk from Glen Clova carpark, largely on track, probably some offpath, and a burn crossing or two. | OS44. |
| Mon 18 Aug | Ferrowie (801m) | 13km, 450m. | Along the Capel Mounth from Glen Muick, and back via Ferrowie, includes hunt-the-bomber for those with GPS. Some bog, more rough ground. | OS44 |
| Mon 22 Sep | Carn na Drochaide (818m) | 18km, 490m. | A circular from Allanaquoich, descending via Glenn an t'Slugain, some gently descending offpath, not bad at all. | OS43 |
| Mon 20 Oct | Ben Earb (801m) | 13km, 720m. | A pleasant walk from Spittal of Glenshee, on straightforward ground, apart from a short bit of descent. | OS43 |
