Dunkeld

12.1.10 Dunkeld circular low level walk (Tay Forest Park) 4 hours 20min, 11km,Ascent 180m

With the college we started at Dunkeld and walked north then west along the River Tay passed Inver. Walked south through forest paths in the Ladywell plantation with the snow a foot deep in places. From here we took a country road along Tomgarrow and north through wood to Rumbling Bridge. Then east onto the Hermitage and along the River Tay back to Dunkeld. The weather was overcast with hevy rain and sleet at times. The paths were icy with deep snow at times.

Caerketton Hill again

7.1.10 Caerketton Hill (The Pentland Hills) 3 hours, 3.2km

Began the walk with the college on the A702 and up west to the path left of the ski centre. From here we walked south west up thick snow to Caerketton Hill. Descended by following the path on the ridge east then north. The snow was knee deep and very tough walking. We practised winter skills with ice axes in the snow next to the ski centre. The temperature was below freezing but it was a clear, bright sunny day.
