Overview

This walk is a rerun of the walk that had to be cancelled in February.

The Den of Alyth is currently closed due to a major landslip.  For this reason we will leave Alyth and reach Drimmie Woods via a track through the berry fields past Muirton Farm before we head to Blairgowrie via Craighall. The climb to Drimmie is sustained but not particularly steep.

A varied walk with good views and interesting corners. Most of the tracks and paths are in good condition but are wet and slippery after bad weather.

THIS WALK IS LIMITED TO 18 PARTICIPANTS.
