An easy, very quiet, short outing which has as many variations as you want. GPS mapping is useful espc in QE forest park with many tempting tracks. It’s so easy to become disoriented!

We planned to travel round the Loch but winter conditions didn’t allow! So it turned out to be an out and back trip in a wild, remote but accessible area. Good tracks throughout - be aware that the rivers can be difficult in high water or frozen conditions…

A walk along the canal. Short road sections then gentle track to Barr hill with interesting Roman foundations. Over Castle hill then grass and gravel tracks back to start.

Pick a clear dry day, some sections can be boggy, views are expansive. Good off road parking, and easy to follow tracks and paths.

Great signposted forest tracks and trails, Meikle Bin is a steep grassy, very wet ascent. Excellent viewpoint. This was a short outing so no playing on the MTB routes! On our visit many fallen trees across the tracks, one in particular difficult to pass

Starting from the forest road end near Loch Achray extends the route but parking is easier and it’s a lovely link piece. The road up from Brig o Turk is a tarmac surface, it climbs past the dam, some sections are quite steep. Passing a small hydro station in a short while take track with the stone marker, to Balqhidder. It’s a landrover track now, still a great surface as it climbs to the slopes of Lag a Phuill. It’d be really hard to go wrong, just follow the track! From the high point it’s a flowy fast descent to the ford at the head of the Glen Finglas. There is a footbridge here, as in high water the ford would be dangerously deep/wide. It’s a pleasant fast descent to the point of the stone uphill route marker. Easy ride back to Brig o Turk, fast on the tarmac, be careful… great well known tearoom at Brig o Turk. Check the opening times. Lovely route, do something else if high winds, heavy rain or deep snow, it is exposed in sections. Beautiful in the autumn.
