Walk Description

Stage 1

Park in the layby on the east side of the A84 immediately north of the bridge over the Ardchullerie Burn. Begin the walk up the path that begins up beside of the burn, keeping to the left of a fence (track on the right). It is signed as a public right of way to Loch Earn via Glen Ample. After passing the garage follow a rough path, fording a small burn and then climbing steeply through a dense plantation.

Stage 2

The path goes straight ahead across a rough clearing and eventually emerges on a main forestry track. Turn left here, following the track as it leads to a gate and leaves the forestry behind.

Stage 3

Leave the track at the Eas an Èoin, where a signpost reading 'Hill path' indicates the start of a narrow path north of the burn. This passes through an area of bracken and climbs steeply before easing at around 500m where a giant boulder provides an excellent spot for a rest. Further on the path climbs across the very steep slopes above the glen.

Stage 4

There is a brief grassy respite but the climb continues across the steep slope - in winter conditions this would be often be best avoided by a line further east. Eventually a line of fenceposts is reached; from here the path heads more directly up the open slopes before levelling off at a ridge.

Stage 5

After a few bumps the tiny summit cairn is reached, with grand views southeast towards Dumyat, the Forth and the Wallace Monument. To northeast Stùc a' Chròin rises at the far end of a knobbly, complex ridge; the walk can be extended to the Stùc but this makes for a much rougher and more challenging walk.

Stage 6

Our route instead returns by the route of ascent, taking care on the steep section but enjoying the superb views across to Ben Ledi.
