Tayside Young Walkers

A lovely linear walk along the banks of the river earn and through the beautiful woodlands. Starting in Crieff and finishing in Muthill. Please see https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/perthshire/muthill.shtml for more details. We will need to leave cars in Muthill to ferry us back to the start but will arrange closer to the time. Walk is just under 10 km and should take us two to three hours. It can be muddy so hiking boots recommend.
