Corrour to Rannoch
A ‘must do’ walk starting from the highest mainline train station in Britain through the remote, untamed wild of Rannoch Moor.
We’ll travel by minibus to Crianlarich Station and then enjoy a section of West Highland Line by train. At Corrour, the station made world famous by that scene in Trainspotting, we’ll start the walk, first heading east towards the youth hostel on Loch Ossian. As we head further east and then due south alongside Carn Dearg, the remoteness of Rannoch Moor will be felt. We’ll come across the ruins of an old shooting lodge and continue on to cross the Allt Eigheach, before joining the road for a short stretch back to Rannoch Station, where we will be collected by our minibus and taken back to Crieff.
The route is mainly flat but likely to be wet/ boggy in sections, so good walking boots are required and gaiters recommended. Rannoch Moor can be a harsh environment – though we hope for some sun to experience the beauty of the place – and so walkers should be prepared for all weathers.
NOTE – walkers are responsible for buying their own rail tickets
Walk duration - 6hrs The route is mainly flat but likely to be wet/ boggy in sections, so good walking boots are required and gaiters recommended.
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.
No map available.
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.
