A 93 mile walk across the Southern Highlands of Scotland taking in some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. Starting from Drymen on the West Highland Way it goes north east to finish in Pitlochry.
Day 1 – Drymen to Callander, 20 miles; started drizzly but as the day went on there was more sunshine.
Day 2 – Callander to Lochearnhead, 14 miles; good sunshine, feet a bit sore but views great!
Day 3 – Lochearnhead to Ardtalnaig, 17 miles; this was the worst day, rained from 9am until we finished at 7pm – very wet!
Day 4 – Ardtalnaig to Amulree, 17 miles; great long day, warm sunshine and lots of climbing – very hard but saw two golden eagles and loads of deer and red kites. The scenery was fantastic.
Day 5 – Amulree to Aberfeldy, 15 miles; another warm day, stunning views.
Day 6 – Aberfeldy to Pitlochry, 10 miles; last day, good weather and not too long. Glad to get a rest, but what a great walk!
Special mention to my daughter Marriann who came in at last minute – she was great.
