Clatt

Clatt (Upper Donside) will be run from the Clatt Hall (between Rhynie and Insch). The routes include open moorland, forest and some road work, giving lovely views (weather permitting, we've asked for bright sun and a breeze!), a variety of going and enough hills for those who wish to fitten their horses or ponies. Parts of the routes are over the Correen Hills which were included in the route to Rhynie a few years ago.

Route - 20% tarmac, 25% forest, 50% moorland, 5% tracks, highest climb 210m.

Clatt Hall is under new management and might not be open during the weekend - to be advised. The water supply is metered so please don’t expect to fill up containers at the Hall.
