Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Auchronie’s Slow Ways.

I did this route in reverse (from Brechin to Auchronie), and it's a lovely way to do it: you begin in the town of Brechin and walk out on a main country road that dwindles to a single track up to the Iron Age Catherthuns forts and suddenly Glen Lethnot and the Angus Glens are laid out before you. It's a steady road walk winding up pretty Glen Lethnot to Stoneyford where in theory I should have been able to turn onto a path up the Clash of Wirren....

It's not long before you turn up a level grass track and climb through woods onto a good track climbing steadily round the side of Craig Vallich to a tangle of track junctions, make sure you take the right one that joins the path that drops down onto a level boggy area, this is the Mounth. But just because it's important doesn't mean it's a good path. As you come down to the bridge the good track path Aboyne goes down to the forest to the left. I was walking in light to heavy rain, light to strong winds and poor to very poor visibility. This part of the path is good and very clear: fine grained stones, intact path raised up from the peat hags. At Knowe of Crippley the path joins an offroad landrover track and from here on it's a tough walk down to Glen Mark, the track is made of large rocks so shifts easily underfoot, and there are great gouges in the track scoured out by heavy rain. Usually you can paddle across, however, I was doing the walk after heavy rain and both were in spate and it's not a crossing I would have made without my confidence I had the skill to do so. The path is now a thankfully easy farm track past Glenmark house alongside the Water of Mark down to Auchronie....
