Overview

From Little Druim car park we walk up the hillside opposite Loch Venacher, then contour along the edge of the hillside, dropping down to the road to the Glen Finglas reservoir, then through woods and a boardwalk to cross the main road and through fields and woods to return to the car park  via Little Druim Woods and a closer look at Loch Venachar.A varied walk with good views across Loch Venachar and towards  Ben Venue. 

After the walk we will either drive to Aberfoyle for a teashop stop, or visit  the Brig o'Turk teashop if it is not busy.
