From halfway up Ben Vrackie
8/11/2023: Our graduation hike. This was a very challenging with over 2,000 ft. elevation gain. Everyone that was not at the hotel sick with Covid made it to the top. One lady in our group was 75 years old. She took her time but made it just fine. Very cool.
Day 7: Ben Vrackie/Perthshire
This morning, set out on foot to explore Highland Perthshire, heading toward the Ben Vrackie peak. Venture into enchanting woodlands and across heather-draped moorlands to reach picturesque Loch a’ Choire. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the shores of this secluded lake before completing our walking circuit. Time permitting, we’ll pop into one of Scotland’s oldest inns to sip on a pint of ale before continuing on to a local whisky distillery. Sit down to a farewell dinner with your fellow travelers this evening.
(5-6 miles hiking, 4 hours)
