Grade: C+
Length: 8 miles
Ascent: 350m
Pace: Moderate
Starting from Butterstone Village Hall, the walk heads east along the main road for a short distance before heading steeply north and east, giving panoramic views of Butterstone Loch and Loch of the Lowes, then onwards towards Craigton and Leduckie. A grassy 4WD track then heads north to a tarmac road leading to Loch Benachally. It’s best then to backtrack to the junction and eastwards towards Craigend in order to attempt the climb up Benachally Hill. Coming back down the track from the top the route then heads south and west towards Riechip, crosses the Buckny Burn and back to the village hall.
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 helpful for the ascents.
We will be stopping for lunch at a convenient point
Dogs are welcome, provided they can be put on leads when requested or when conditions require. Please keep your dog under control whilst walking near walkers.
