Perthshire Outdoor and Social Group

Are you inspired by beautiful views from craggy hills? High above, in the forests of Strathtay, the Pine Cone makes an excellent lookout point. This 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 twice 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 :)

We've had a very enjoyable day in previous years - we walk for exercise in the afternoon, have tea/supper, then see a film - not just any film, it's the Banff Mountain Film Festival RED films at the Pitlochry Theatre!

Here's how it's described on the BMFF website "The Banff Mountain Film Festival is one of the largest and most prestigious mountain festivals in the world. The festival draws some of the world’s best filmmakers and accomplished outdoor heroes to celebrate adventure, the environment, mountain culture and the outdoors through film."

We've been before and "it sure does what it says on the tin"

The afternoon's walk will be mid-level: Details TBA nearer the date
Grade: C
Length: 6 miles
Ascent:400m

It's a varied walk starting from near the Pitlochry Theatre. The terrain consists of good paths and minor roads.

The film: For those of you who know the BMFF, you'll be well aware of the spectacular and inspirational adventure features which go together to make the Banff an evening you won't forget.
