‘Stones, Swords & Crosses – a historical walk with the Romans and Picts in Strathearn’, led by volunteers from Crieff & Strathearn Museum
Meeting at Strathearn Community Campus, we’ll explore the adjacent Archaeology Trail (fairly level and paved), before driving out by minibus to Fowlis Wester to look at some amazing sculpted stone crosses (mostly level, but there are 5 steps up to the church, with a hand-rail), then driving to nearby Trinity Gask for a walk along a section of the Gask Ridge (reasonably level, metalled track) to look at Kirkhill Roman Signal Tower (slight slope from the metalled Roman Road into the Tower area), and finally returning to the Campus.
3x short walks – 1. Archaeology Trail at Campus c30 minutes; 2. Walk at Fowlis Wester c30 minutes; walk along Gask Ridge and visit Roman Signal Tower c1 hour
Stout walking shoes/boots, full waterproofs and packed lunch.
1. Risk.
The nature of hill walking potentially involves leaders or other participants in providing close assistance to others. For everybody’s protection those people classified as ‘vulnerable adults’ or young people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an appropriate carer or responsible adult. No special arrangements are available to provide independent supervision for vulnerable people, and the accompanying carer takes full responsibility for them. The carer or parent is best placed to judge the capability of their charges.
2. Children.
We do ask that you only bring children on a walk if you are confident that they will be able to complete it comfortably. At all times, children must be accompanied by an appropriate adult who must take full responsibility for them.
3. Lower age limits.
No children under the age of 16 are allowed on Extra Hard or Hard walks. Children over the age of 12 are permitted on Medium and Easy walks provided that they are accompanied by a responsible adult.
4. Dogs.
In common with other similar events and in consideration for others, dogs are not allowed (guide dogs excepted).
5. Smoking.
Please do not smoke on walks, out of consideration to others.
