Remember to wrap up to stay warm, dry and have suitable footwear for when you are out and about.

Disclaimer Below we include links to third party web sites which offer activities. The Bailies of Bennachie expect children to be supervised by a responsible adult and accept no responsibility for children undertaking any of these activities. It is the responsibility of the supervising adult to assess the suitability of any of these activities for their children, and to ensure they are undertaken safely.
