Overview

A long but not too difficult circuit of Loch Venachar.

Start is on the south shore near to East Lodge and the sailing club and we will walk in a counter-clockwise direction.  The east to west section on the north side of the loch is on undulating track and should afford good views over the loch.

Mainly good underfoot with lots of small roads and tracks and there are very few sections with mud.
