Speyside way - Extension?

A3aan said:

My brother-in-law and I do like to walk in Scotland. In 2004 we did walk on
the West Higlandway and we did make a website-story about it (
http://wandelen.filternet.nl/Meerdaagsewandelingen/WHWEngels/ENG_whw.htm)

In may 2006 we do want to walk the Speyside way. On webpage
http://www.moray.org/area/speyway/webpages/infoU.htm we red about the
extension from Aviemore to Newtonmore.

We wonder if it is possible to walk this new section next year. Can anyone
give us recent information about it?

Any other information (example travelling) will be welcom!

Excuse me for my bad-writing English.
It is almost 30 years ago that I learned a bit writing and speaking in
Enlish.

It's very unlikely that the extsnion will be open by next summer. These
things tend to take a few years to sort out - landowner permission,
route planning, signposting, track repairing or even track making.

However, there is nothing to stop you making your own route. Scotland is
very free for walking and access is very good.

Perhaps you could investigate by looking at some maps (try
www.multimap.com as a starter, then get paper versions?) Once you have a
rough idea of a route, ask this group again for comments.

Its possible now... Although the official route will not be marked
yet. I dont know when it is announced.

There are many ways of walking up Strathspey, and the bit you are
asking about is quite well provided with tracks and paths.

You may have to find your own route, but armed with an OS 1:25000 map
you should have no problems with the lovely forests of Strathspey...
Plenty of choice...

Enjoy!
