Amulree, Loch Freuchie Loop
From the layby we will walk along the Rob Roy Way on the north side of Loch Freuchie. This will be a reasonable track. We will explore some of the history of Glen Quaich, which was home to hundreds of people before the clearances. At the end of the loch we will turn right up a gentle slope along a footpath to ascend Greag nan Grabhar, which should afford us some good views, before descending down another footpath back to the Rob Roy Way and thence back to the cars.
Walk duration approximately 5 hours. Most of the walk will be on good tracks, apart for the ascent and descent of Creag nan Ghabar. It is a relatively gentle climb and descent. Good walking boots and full waterproofs will be required along with a packed lunch. Duration 5 hours
For Medium, Hard and Extra Hard walks we ask walkers to make sure they have full hillwalking gear, by which we mean definitely the following: Boots, warm clothing, warm/quick drying trousers (not denim jeans), waterproof jacket and over trousers, rucsac, hat, gloves, spare fleece, packed lunch, spare food and drink, small personal first aid kit including any medications, mobile phone, headtorch, and bivvy bag if you have one, and possibly also these other items, depending on personal preference: Gaiters, rucsac cover, walking poles, spare socks, map, compass, GPS, lipsalve, camera.
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.
