It was a beautiful afternoon here today. I had enough Brownie points to be let out and made the most of it by heading over to Dunkeld via Glen Garr.

Child Trailers

Having two very small children, cycling with the family has not been as easy as if they could ride their own bikes. So with the sun shining and the trails calling, I decided to pay a visit to Escape Route in Pitlochry. The rent out bikes and trailers and all sorts of kit of the biking and outdoor type. They sorted me out with a childs trailer which will take two youngsters side by side or one on their own in the middle.
So with child strapped in inside her car seat we set off. We did a cracking route starting off at the Dunkeld Hilton hotel, headed west along the River Tay, over the Queens Bridge, into Craigvinean Forest before riding across to The Hermitage and then back over the bridge through Dunkeld and down past the cathedral to the hotel.

Dunkeld Short Route
April 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Got out for a cheeky hour this evening. Did a quick 13k along the banks of the River Tay and up by the Hermitage.
Started off at the public car park at the side of the Tay Bank pub. South over the road bridge and then down to the river side by the Birnam Oak. Up to the Hermitage car park, past Ossian’s Hall and into Craigvinean Forest. Down a cheeky trail to the Queens bridge. Over the river and then back into Dunkeld past the Dunkeld Hilton.
