Overview

From St. Fillans a prolonged and steepish climb through woods and on to open moorland.  Pass below Creag Odhar on the E. side of Glen Tarken before descending to ford the Glentarken Burn. Return down the W. side of the glen past Wester Glentarken to pick up the Three Saints Way back to St. Fillans.  Superb views over Loch Earn and towards Ben Vorlich.
