Are you inspired by beautiful views? Two for the price of one on this "new for 25" walk. High above the forests of Strath Tay, the Pine Cone makes an excellent lookout point. The new route continues on to Craig Vinean and the Rumbling Bridge. Don't forget the striking Ossian’s Hall at Black Linn Falls too, reached by a newly reopened path.

Grade: C +
Length: 7 miles
Ascent: 500m
Pace: Moderate
Dogs: Welcome, provided they can be put on leads when requested or when conditions require. There are lambs everywhere, so take care!! Please keep your dog under control when walking near walkers.
NB: The + in C+ are the two steep MTB trails we use to get to Graig Vinean. Also, this walk starts from the Inver Brae Car Park, which we've only used once before. It's up the hill on the left, just before the Inver Bridge. Do not cross the bridge; bear left up the small B road.
We'll start walking at 10:00 hrs prompt. Please let us know if you're held up or unable to join us by messaging the event organiser via this Meetup website so we do not delay our walk. Car sharing is friendly and gets people out who might not be able to otherwise 😄
Please wear suitable walking footwear for the weather. Walking poles can be useful for the ascents.
We will be stopping for lunch at a convenient point, so bring a wee snack if you tend to get peckish or a bigger one if you like sharing :)
