The Deeside Way largely follows the route of the Old Royal Deeside Railway from Aberdeen to Ballater. The path is suitable for walkers and cyclists with many sections suitable for horses as well. The majority of the route is suitable for child buggies and wheelchairs can access to within a few metres of all caches. Further details on the Deeside Way can be found at www.deesideway.org The route is waymarked using the following logo -
The descriptions for these caches have been written for following the Way from Dinnet to Cambus O May but the Way can be followed in either direction.
These caches have been placed by the kind permission of Dinnet and Kinord Estates. All the caches can be accessed from the Deeside Way and surrounding verges and there is no need to climb over any fences.
It is strongly recommended that you do not park on the A93 which is a busy trunk road. There is good parking in Dinnet and also near the suspension bridge at Cambus O May. There is a good bus service along the A93 with generally an hourly service.
As you will see there is a significant amount of forestry in Deeside. Timber used to be floated down the river but this changed with the coming of the railway and especially during the two world wars the carrying of timber freight was an important function for the railway. There is a major sawmill on the south side of the River Dee near the gliding club and this is a source of significant employer locally.
The cache has a difficulty of 4.0 so if you are not lucky you may have quite a search - have fun !
