Starting at the Braeval car park, This route begins by following the Rob Roy Way. It then follows quiet roads, gravel paths and forestry roads to loop you back to the car park. Technically the first 5km are the hardest as the singletrack crosses burns and follows some worn rocky paths. The rest of the route are pretty straight forward, the fireroads can be a bit monotonous but the scenery and views do make up for it.

Once you get back towards the lodge, there are options to add in some of the tougher, natural trails if you want some excitement. There's also an option to add in a climb up to the Highland Boundary Viewpoint.
