With a scenic start in Glen Clova, and open striding on the Mounth plateau above, this enjoyable round has plenty of variety. Two Munros are visited on the route described, but if you're bagging it'd be pretty easy to add two or even three more. In November 2021 the woods in Glen Clova - as elsewhere in northeast Scotland - were devastated by Storm Arwen. With thousands of fallen trees, many trails were blocked, and forestry workers have been hard at work clearing the debris ever since. This route is now passable.
