The Pathways Group bring our community another walk, this time focusing on a section of the South Loch Ness Trail.  As Autumn is upon us, make most of the remaining brighter evenings and head out and enjoy this well marked route.  Remember you can head over to the designated Walk the Walk page and see the fantastic list of local walks mapped so far.  You can find it HERE.

Loch Tarff to Knockie Road End (South Loch Ness Trail)

If you want to follow this route one way, you will need a car at the start and finish (Loch Tarff and track opposite Knockie Road End, otherwise you could choose to return to the start at any point along the route. This walk is part of the South Loch Ness Trail with a well defined path and blue markers along the route. From the highest point on the whole trail at Carn an t-Suidhe, there are fabulous views in every direction. Well worth the first uphill section from Loch Tarff.

4 miles, one way

Moderate

Description

Park just off the road at Loch Tarff. There is room for 3/4 cars. Go through the gate and follow the well defined path uphill. As you gain height you get a great view of Loch Tarff from above. Continue uphill, with the track levelling out as you reach Carn an t-Suidhe where there is a blue market post indicating the highest point of the South Loch Ness Trail. The path heads downhill and there is a large painted blue stone close to the road showing the path to follow. You’ll reach a gate where you turn right and again turn right when you reach a forestry road. Continue on this section and look out for a blue marker post when the forestry road bends round to the right. Take the small narrow path heading downhill until you reach the Knockie tarmac road. Turn right here and walk uphill for just over half a mile to the end of the route and the junction with the B862.
