Mountain Description
|
|
|
Ben Rinnes is a solitary peak which broadens on easy inclines to the W but narrows to a well defined ridge to the E. This ridge has moderately steep slopes, but a track ascends onto Round Hill (its most E point) and from there a path leads to the summit. This is the logical ascent route

An easy short walk(no bogs!) with really good views of the moray firth and the cairngorms.
After the summit its worth checking out the impressive tors at Scurran of Well. You could probably descend to the land rover track to the NE and make it a circular walk.
Top the day off with the free distillery tour of Glenfiddich which is only a few miles away.

This route is very short but nevertheless enjoyable with good views of the rolling hills of Aberdeenshire. A very good track makes this ascent extremely straightforward but the hill has a scattering of boulders and rocks at the top. I descended the same way as I came up and the whole route was only 3 hours.

An easy ascent up a very clear and well built path. An interesting top with good views.
