Overview

Starting from Aberfoyle we walk up to the woods and follow path to cross the Dukes Pass Road. We steadily climb steeply up to Craigmore Hill. A mixture of paths and rough muddy/boggy ground. On a nice day you get good views of Loch Ard towards Ben Lomond. We then retrace our tracks and head back down to the woods. We aim to stop at the area of the squirrel hide to have lunch. We then follow the track up through the woods to a steep climb up to the Lime Crags view point. Afterwards we descend steeply back down to Aberfoyle.
