Farragon Hill – POSTPONED

November 1, 2014 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Sorry, going to have to do this another time, double booked myself.

Starting from Pitlochry. The plan is to follow easy paths to Grandtully and then climb Farrgon Hill. The hill is nearly 800m but has a good, rideable* climb all the way to the top where amazing veiws of Perthshire and beyond can be enjoyed. There is a fast but non-technical descent back down. There are options to explore trails on the return to Pitlochry if there is time.

The route is not overly technical but does require a decent level of fitness due to the climbing involved. For comparison, the main climb is around 650m vs 450m to the top of the “red” at Glentress. I’m expecting around 4-5hours total.

The route is exposed so spare warm clothing, food, water and spares are required suitable for November on a Scottish hill. Front and rear lights would also be a good idea, just in case.

Meet, ready to ride, at 10am at Escape Route in Pitlochry. I’ll probably be there a bit before for some of their rocket fuel coffee. Let me know if you’re coming.
