Walk description
This month we are walking up Schiehallion, a 3500 ft munro between Loch Tay and Loch Tummel 10 miles north of Aberfeldy in Perthshire. The walk will take 4-5 hours and is straightforward with stunning views. After the walk we'll stop in Aberfeldy for refreshment.
 
A moderate walk.

 

What will I need?

  • good walking boots
  • walking socks are great if you have them
  • a base layer and mid-layer/fleece 
  • waterproof jacket
  • ideally water resistant/waterproof walking trousers, though other light weight, quick-drying trousers are fine too
  • hat/gloves/scarf - it can get very cold, even in Summer
  • suncream and sunglasses - well you never know!
  • rucksack (for packed lunch and layers)
  • clean shoes and a carrier bag (for pre- and post-walk)
  • water
  • packed lunch (for all walks, except Thursday evenings)

Car-Share
We organise car-share from Edinburgh city centre. It's an informal arrangement that has worked brilliantly. Everyone meets at The Dome and gets into a car - quite simple! We can't guarantee a lift as it depends on sufficient drivers. So far it's worked every time.

 

If you are not driving, please give a petrol contribution to your driver, even if you know them. We do rely on people driving and don't want them to be out-of-pocket. If in doubt, err on the side of genorosity. It would be very difficult logistically, very time-consuming and expensive to make the same journeys by public transport.


Remember to bring clean shoes and a carrier bag (for muddy boots) for the journeys to and from the walk.

 

Cost per car

The journey to the start of the walk from George St is approx 200 miles. At 22p per mile that is a total of £44 per car. Your contribution is: £22 if 2 people in car, £15 if 3 people and £11 if 4 people. Please bring the right change if you can.

Walk meeting point
9am outside The Dome on George Street for car share
or
11am at Schiehallion Car Park
