Glen Quaich Lodge to Newton Bridge

We will be following the Rob Roy Way up from Glen Quaich. The track is generally good and the climb not too severe but there are likely to be boggy stretches. We should have good views over Glen Quaich, once home to hundreds of families in the 18th and early 19th centuries. We then descend more steeply into Glen Almond. We will stop for lunch here beside the River Almond. Then we follow a good broad track to Newton Bridge passing many sites of historic interest, including standing stones, a neolithic burial chamber and some 19th century farm toons. We will spend some time looking at and learning about these historic sites. We will then be collected by the minibus at Newton Bridge to take us back to Crieff.

Generally good tracks, part of the walk is along the Rob Roy Way. May be a boggy section on the climb up from Glen Quaich. Bring full waterproofs, lunch and good strong boots. 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.
