  The Club Walk: Walk 12 Kenmore to the Birks of Aberfeldy

Distance 7 miles Ascent 1216 ft Descent 1477 ft Time 3h 45min Leader James Duggan

Please note comment below on First Farm Gate.  It needs to be climbed, but all members of the recce party managed this.  Also note that vehicle access via the Rob Roy Route is extremely limited due to locked gates. 

The start of the walk accesses the Rob Roy Way via a locked farm gate which needs to be climbed.  All 5 members of both walk groups were able to manage this, and all subsequent gates were accessible to pedestrians, but most gates capable of taking vehicles were locked – so very limited vehicle access.  No side gate exists on the first gate and people should be made aware of this.  There are 3 ascents of up to 300ft at the start, middle and end, with there being some areas of sharp descent at the end.  These should not be overly difficult for the club walkers if taken at a steady pace.  The paths are either tarmacadam or good LRT. For the most part the walk is fairly level and across a mix of open farmland and woods.  Good views can be had of Appin of Dull / Tay Glen and Taymouth Castle and there is a lovely woodland / river descent into the Birks via Falls of Moness..  

The Extended Walk: Walk 12 Kenmore to the Birks of Aberfeldy

Distance 8.5 miles Ascent 1672 ft Descent 1935 ft Time 4h 40 min Leader Sandy Raeburn

The walk starts on the A827 near to Taymouth Castle. Sandy advises that there is a stiff climb at the start of the walk, for approximately 1 hour/ 2 miles. Then the majority of the route follows Forestry commission roads, all with good walking conditions underfoot. If there has been recent heavy rainfall, then there is the possibility of having to cross a small ford. Also there is a low risk towards the end of the walk descending stone steps which maybe slippery when wet, so care needs to exercised on the descent.

Maps for both walks are available to print from our website. duncanrigramblers.co.uk

Please remember to come prepared for all types of weather and with adequate food and water. Gaiters and poles may be useful.
