A fine, if unchallenging walk on a winter morning. The snow,
wildlife and stunning views made this an enjoyable outing.

This relatively easy walk follows an almost foolproof route. The track from Invergeldie is rocky in parts. A handy marker (very small cairn-like pile of stones) indicates the point at which you should leave the track and head north. There are many cairns on the way to the summit. Despite it's lack of excitement, Ben Chonzie was quite busy on the driech May day I walked it.

A good walk for winter, esp with the fence posts as a guide to the summit in near white out conditions (Jan 2004). The "dry" burn of the outward journey had become something of a torrent by the return due to dramatic thaw during the day. In fact the landrover track turned into a river itself, with a wall of water rushing down over our boots (okay, only about 10-15cm deep but it came as a surprise from behind!).
