Aberfoyle to Loch Venachar via the John Muir way, then Aberfoyle via the Great Trossachs trail
A varied off road circuit using forest tracks, narrow trails and one short section of quiet single track road. Lots of climbing so stamina needed, some good downhill sections.. loads of variations to explore. Route can be easily shortened to suit the day.
