Route Description

Starting at the western end this section begins where the Inchnacape Farm road joins the B9008 at GR 198 202 (The public road now follows the original westwards extension of this route from Inchnacape to Tomintoul). The path follows the farm track to the farmhouse, where a grassy track heads NE through a couple of gates for a short distance to reach the edge of the Inchnacape plantation at GR 202 202. Here a well defined 4 m wide track continues NE through the plantation (crossing a forest road at GR205 204) before emerging from the forest at a boundary fence and gate at the eastern edge of the wood (GR 211 214). The track continues through the enclosed field beyond the forest gate heading due E to a shelterbelt at GR216 215 (where the track does a short dog-leg), before continuing E downhill along an enclosed stony track through a series of gates to the Lettoch Farm. The route continues through the farm along the eastern edge of the farm buildings then along the farm access track to the public road at GR 225 213.

From the public road opposite a bus shelter,  go almost straight ahead up a field boundary to a wood, through the wood, then NE between double fences to the public road SW of Achnascraw, where there is a post-box.
