The registration for this walk open on 19 April. Please DO NOT contact the walk leader prior to this date. Also include a mobile number when you sign up. No waiting list will be operated for this walk.
This is a challenging hill walk, suitable only for those with a high level of fitness and experience in hillwalking. Expect a long and at times steep ascent, and a demanding climb to the summit. This will be a long day, including more than 2 hours of train travel each way (4.5 hours total), so we need to maintain a fast pace on the hills with limited breaks to catch the return train. Please only sign up if you are confident in your ability to complete the route at a brisk pace.
The Ben Vrackie Loop is a fantastic circular route starting from Pitlochry Train Station. The path climbs gradually through woodland before opening up to stunning moorland scenery. The ascent to the summit (841m) is steep and strenuous but rewards us with spectacular panoramic views on a clear day. We will descend via a different route, passing Loch a’ Choire before rejoining the main trail back to Pitlochry.
This will be a long, strenuous day, combining an extended train journey with a tough hill walk at a fast pace. Only sign up if you are fully prepared for this level of challenge. Numbers are strictly limited to 12, so book early to secure your place. As always, sturdy footwear, waterproofs, and appropriate clothing are essential.
Not suitable for beginners. If you are unsure about your fitness level, please choose another walk from the list of advertised walks that better matches your ability.
Meet in front of the ticket office in Queen street station at 8:15am having purchased a return ticket to Pitlochry.
