On a sunny Saturday morning we did a brand new ten mile walk composed of a handful of sections that I'd run along. The route began from the Rogie Falls car park.
After crossing the new suspension bridge and climbing up to join the main forest track between Contin and Garve, we turned left and followed a gently undulating route for about two miles. At this point we'd just passed the farm with the antisocial geese and turned right to make our way up and across the railway line.
Continuing right, we joined a second forest track East for two miles, eventually exiting at an old bothy (which is currently used as a power station) and joining a rough overgrown quad bike track that runs parallel to the railway line. For more than mile, we struggled with pesky flies buzzing round our heads and pretty boggy conditions underfoot, but eventually we re-joined a larger forest track, turning left towards Achterneed and back round to Strathpeffer.
Skirting the upper edges of the old Spa town, we climbed, twisted and turned our way along the forest track down towards Loch na Crann. Before long we were back on the main Contin to Garve track again and making our weary way back down towards Rogie Falls.
