Visit to Comrie Croft

[Dirk Diggler]

Hi,
I am going to Comrie Croft at the end of May after seeing it recommended on here, staying in one of the Swedish Kata, its a family trip so will have the Mrs, 10 yr old daughter and 13 yr old son with me, its also my first visit to Scotland i'm ashamed to say.
I have done a little bit of reading up but if anyone can recommend any particular walking/hiking routes, place to visit etc it would be great.
I was also thinking of taking my son to a bushcraft afternoon here... http://www.doitoutdoors.co.uk/#BushParentCHild
Anyone here know or recommend this place ?
Thanks in advance

They are high up and near Glenartney, Lednock etc. Good munro up there Ben Chonzie.

Watch out for me blasting thru the wood, near the fence line, on my MTB.

They have a granny gear climb up to the tree line then a red loop which is handcut singletrack with some nice features then a black loop with some steep chutes and drop offs. We then re rode the red loop and then there is a fast descent probably red, back blasting down thru the woods past the wild camp sites. 6km without repeating anything.

Walking up Ben Chonzie is normally done via the farm track in Glen Lednock. There is some nice waterfalls and pools for swimming up there.
