The Scottish National Trail - Aberfeldy to Pitlochry

Aberfeldy to Pitlochry - 9 miles/4 hours

After a moderately peaceful night camping by the River Tay and the B846, I leave Aberfeldy on the riverside path to follow the Rob Roy Way to Pitlochry where I finish this 6 day trip. 9.5 miles, easy day.

I already walked the next section between Pitlochry and Blair Atholl the previous year, in reverse order so decided to skip it this time round and start the next 6 day expedition from Blair Atholl.  However, just for a bit of fun I threw together a video of the section, walking in reverse motion from Pitlochry to Blair Atholl!

Braemar to Pitlochry long distance hike - Day 1

Time taken: 4 days
Distance: 91 km
Ascent: 990m

I got bored sitting at home so I decided to walk approximately 57 miles through the Cairngorms from Braemar to Pitlochry over the course of 4 days, visiting some bothies and climbing Ben Dearg en-route. I spent the first night in a bothy and the next 2 nights were spent wild camping by Old Bridge of Tilt next to Blair Atholl.

 

Day 1 (A Washout)
I begin on Friday morning and walk approx. 22 miles in horrible weather to Tarf Hotel, a very remote bothy behind Glen Tilt. It took me forever to get there and when I finally arrived I was completely soaked through.
