Thursday 14th October - Easy
Walk as a drover would have done on the original drove track untouched or unchanged by time. Indeed this was the very track which was the inspiration for A.R.B.Haldane’s definitive book ‘The Drove Roads of Scotland’. Visit Gleneagles Estate family chapel and the Gleneagles Castle ruins. A lovely easy walk full of interesting sites including standing stones, and plenty of opportunities for photography.

Thursday 14th October - hard
This is an ideal opportunity to climb one of the more straightforward and accessible Munros but via a less common route. The walk has potential for great views and opportunities to see the wildlife including the mountain hares for which Ben Chonzie is famous. The route has the advantage of a high start point and initially follows a good Landrover track that runs along Loch Turret to the foot of Ben Chonzie. There is then a steep ascent to the ridge and on to the summit before re-tracing the route back to the starting point.

Thursday 14th October - extra hard
A very rewarding traverse of two fine Munros enjoying spectacular views on a fine day. The route follows a rough track south west along the Allt Coire Dubhchraig finally rising up the grassy corrie to the steeper upper slopes and the summit of Beinn Dubhchraig. Traversing north westerly along a broad summit ridge before turning south west towards the knoll the ascent of Ben Oss is achieved. The most straightforward descent is to return via the ascent route.
