Distance: This route, cycled from Stirling is 75 miles.

Map: OS landranger, sheet 56 & 57 Explorer sheet 11. Part of this route is on Sustrans National cycle Network route number 7, Inverness to Dover Map 7c.

Start and finish:Car park at the Scottish Woollen Mill Aberfoyle

Terrain: Very hilly, particularly on the first stage over the Dukes Pass. However, it is better to get the worst over at the beginning. Thereafter it is undulating with short stretches of steep gradient. This route will take the average person most of a day. I do not recommend it for children.

Refreshments: Many places in Aberfoyle, the Visitor Centre Loch Katrine and Altsheith Hotel Kinlochard.
