Overview

Matthew has offered to put on a mid walk for this week. As with previous mid walks,  the route is shorter to allow for a reduced pace. The route of this walk starts at the Loch Achray Hotel and joins the main approach to Ben Venue on forestry tracks. It then ascends to pass a waterfall.

This walk should reach a point that offers amazing views of Loch Katrine, Ben Lomond and many other mountains, then returns by the same route. Most of this route is on good paths but there is a section of rocky path to negotiate, with one steep section  and one boggy section.

Poles are highly recommended.
