Overview

We board the No. 59 bus at Fir Road, Doune at 9.27 and alight at Straid / Ballochallan. We then make our way back to the start, alongside the River Teith over most of our route. There is a section where the path is narrow with a steep drop to the river.  If you are sure footed you will be okay. The walk will be done at a moderate pace. Local grade C+. Please advise the leader by email if you want to attend by 6pm on Friday 15th March.
