This project has been supported by: Passionate about good food and walking?

The great outdoors is about to become your dining room at a new ‘gastro ramble’ taking place this autumn. Organised by Royal Deeside and The Cairngorms Destination Management Organisation (DMO), the 2010 TanaLonga will lead walkers through the Glen Tanar Estate in Royal Deeside taking in stunning beauty spots and four mouth-watering food stops along the way.

During the day walkers will have the chance to explore a number of historic sites, including the Chapel of St Lesmo and Victoria’s Fountain, while indulging in the finest local produce Royal Deeside has to offer. To bring the TanaLonga experience to life, story tellers and rangers will help to set the scene and answer any questions about key areas of interest.

Getting the debut event off on the right footing, a light snack of muffins, scones and pastries will be on offer at the Chapel courtesy of Woodend Barn. After a leisurely roam to Knockie View Point, walkers will be able to capture the day with a few photos taken by the TanaLonga photographer. A tasty starter will be served at this pretty location – giving walkers a quick energy boost.

Next stop on the estate is the Lime Tree, where participants will see an illicit still and sample a dram from Royal Lochnagar Distillery while listening to tales of its production in days gone by. The main course which includes a selection of locally sourced meats will be served here on picnic blankets and tables.

The last stop on the walk is the Porphyry Bridge – a stunning setting thanks to the succulent blaeberrys which cover the land at this time of year. Delicious deserts from Milton of Crathes will be served to weary walkers– a perfect way to end this new gastro ramble experience.

The TanaLonga is suitable for the whole family however some small hills will make it difficult for wheelchair users and pushchair access. Please contact organisers who will offer an alternative route, if required. Dogs more than welcome!

Comfortable shoes and waterproofs are highly recommended. The event will take place even if the weather is inclement.
