Gravel North West
The section over to Loch Tay can be quite wet. Between the weir after Auchnafree and Dunan bothy it is an Argo grass track. The section leaving the road at Ardeonaig is steep and as you leave the farm road the Rob Roy way becomes a little boggy (wet under foot) some of this section is cyclable, depending on your ability.
Look out for the way marker posts. Once at the top of the hill the pipes are on a good landrover track. The North Loch Earn cycle route is still under Development. Most of the way is cyclable and worth the diversion from the road.
