Ben Lednaig Journey Run
This is a subtle hill run that creeps up upon
the unwary. It starts with deceptive ease on the cycle track from
Strathyre, southwards beside the attractive Loch Lubnaig. At the
south end of the loch it climbs Ben Ledi by the tourist path. There
then follows a delightful grassy ridge run for several miles from
Ben Ledi to Benvane, becoming more remote as it progresses northwards.
It then develops into a rough and rugged hill run across Glen Buckie
- straight down one side and up the other. The run concludes on forest
paths back down into the centre of Strathyre.
The distance is 16 miles and the running time is about 5½ hours.
If you wish to come, please contact Nigel Rose. Alternatively,
meet at the start at the public
car park on the left as you enter
Strathyre, at 10.00am (grid ref NN 561 168). Visitors are welcome.
