I agreed to do this trip because Martin talked me into it. I enjoyed this trip too but, again, It was sore! Tony couldn't make it. "Excuses" Bowie made an excuse.

Length of route: 38 miles (return).

Route details - Started at Loch Lubnaig, car park for Ben Ledi. Follow the National Cycle track route 7. It follows mainly the old railway line and some parts are on minor public roads. These roads were VERY quiet. The route goes north via Strathyre, Balquhidder, Lochearnhead onto Glen Ogle.  

Things to look out for - excellent views all round. Rob Roy McGregor's grave at Balquhidder. The old railway viaduct at Glen Ogle.

Return is back the way you came. You could cut some of the mileage by not taking the "loop" into Balquhidder but this is not recommended  as it involves travelling on a very busy (and fast) public road (the A84).

No clickable "large" photographs this time around as I had inadvertently set my camera incorrectly. However, with the help of Paint Shop Pro 5, I managed to salvage some.
