Name: Rob Roy Way – Drymen to Aberfoyle
Start: 2024-11-17T09:00:00Z
End: 2024-11-17T16:00:00Z

**Walk Description**

I am planning on walking the Rob Roy Way in stages over the winter months. The first stage of the Rob Roy Way is a gentle introduction, following a minor road from Drymen and then forestry tracks to Aberfoyle which is often bustling with visitors and has plenty of facilities. Some pleasant views over the Campsies and Gargunnock hills and interesting industrial heritage of a Victorian water scheme, but much of the route is through forestry plantation.

Will be car shuttling from one end to the other as no bus option, so looking for volunteers to drive. Also, if the weather is bad I may reschedule, will decide at least a few days in advance.

Distance: 11 miles
Time: approx. 6 hours
Ascent: 227m

Timings
9.00 meet at Main carpark in Aberfoyle (next to Scottish Wool Centre, FK8 3UQ)
9.05 set off in car shuttle (3 x cars required, assuming 12 walkers)
9.25 Park at The Square in Drymen (out the front of the Winnock Hotel, G63 0BL)

3.30 arrive Aberfoyle (1 x car takes drivers back to Drymen)
