UNDER SHR RULES

Saturday 5th October 2019   :   Time 1300 hrs                                                     

The Full Morven course (8km, 640m climb) takes a direct route up Morven above the ruined cottage of Balhennie. It follows good tracks all the way and is marked with flags. The initial steep section above Balhennie is avoided on the descent by the gentler landrover track which descends diagonally NE to Balhennie from the coll below Roar Hill (ref 395033).

The Half Morven course (4km, 380m climb) for U18s & U16s, and also open to Seniors wanting to try out Hill Racing, follows the same ascent as the Seniors to half way up, then links over to the descent by the landrover track.

Safety – Minimum kit requirements:- Full body cover to be carried.  Map, compass & whistle depending on conditions on the day.

The Mini Morven course (1.8km, 108m climb) for U14s & U12s is on the lower section of the hill.

Getting there:          Travelling from Aberdeen, take either the A93 from Aberdeen to Dinnet or the B9119 via Tarland. From Dinnet follow the A97 Huntly road and then the minor road that is signposted to Groddie. The Groddie turn is about 8km from Dinnet.
