April 30, 2022,Pitlochry Loop to Loch Faskally

Never let a spot pf bad weather keep you home. After dallying a wee bit at the hydro dam, it was a swift walk up towarts Garry bridge, where we watched some rafters. The return was via an enchanted woodland path with quite a few steep ascends. Back in Pitlochry just before the car park closed.
