Orienteering is also tricky, areas at south end of map that have been recently thinned are a bit heavy going but passable (by a 12 year old).
Balnagowan - hilltops are great orienteering, transport legs across have avoided the worst boring marshy sections. Not so many blueberries though!
Can back up Big Jon from personal experience this week. Including the blueberries -- we have just finished the crumble for 31 made from ten minutes' picking in Glen Dye by the JROS Deeside tour.
