If you read this before Monday then take a look at ITV's news feature on CAMRA's AGM and the campaign to Save Our Pubs - http://filesend.kantarmediauk.com/?f=4359&fid=4eb3c66e

Paid my first visit to Hunter's Moon, Premnay/Auchleven today after a walk up Bennachie. One ale on - Bateman's celebration of the Royal Wedding:

Ruby coloured ale - and in excellent condition. We sat outside and enjoyed our beers:

We were one week too early for outside drinking as we heard that a new beer garden is being prepared at the back of the pub, but it doesn't open until next week:

The Hunter's Moon is not exactly convenient for Banchory and nor is it on any of my normal routes round the North East, but I wouldn't hesitate to pay a return visit should I be in the area again. They're running a beer festival on Friday July 29th, but I'll be in USA then, so won't make that - but hopefully it'll be well supported by locals and CAMRA members.
