Route Summary
Most walkers carry a camera and take
pictures on the hills but do the pictures
always capture the scene that you saw?
If you would like to improve your pictures
then this walk is for you. Accompanied
by professional photographer Keith Ratcliffe,
our chosen route is a moderate walk
around Loch Trool which we will undertake
over a full day to provide ample opportunities
to explore the photographic potential
of this picturesque and historic location.
Remember to bring your camera!

500 and 700m of ascent. Suitable only for those

Moderate - Generally on
lower land across farm land, through forests
or on the coast, usually on paths. Distances
are generally 7km (4 miles) to 10km (7 miles)

some exposed sections. A number of these walks
are led by historical or wildlife experts and
hence are taken at a slower pace to allow for
items of interest along the route to be discussed.
