Intermediate & Slow High walks each day.
Fuller detail
This new Scottish holiday
with Jo Cound, Sue M, and Fran offers a choice of Gentle Photography,
Intermediate, or Slow High walks each day, set in the heart of scenic
Perthshire on the edge of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park. Here
we will be staying at Comrie Croft - a hostel with a difference, located 2
miles from the picturesque village of Comrie with opportunities to walk into
stunning landscapes at all levels of difficulty. Wildlife abounds here - osprey
and kites nest locally, deer and mountain hare are found on the hills, and at
all times of the year there is a rich diversity of flora and fauna thanks to
ancient woodlands. There are many gentle walks with wonderful photo
opportunities in the nearby glens, beside rivers, to waterfalls, and up onto
gentle viewpoints. For Intermediate walkers there are the many exciting
Corbetts of the area - the mid range hills and mountains over 2500ft (760m),
and for Slow High we will have a choice of more challenging Monroes - mountains
over 3000ft (914m). You can choose the walks that suit you best, and swap to a
different grade if need be to take it easy or stretch yourself as you warm up.
At Comrie Croft we have taken the whole Lodge so that we have room to spread
out, sharing with 1-2 other women in comfortable bunk rooms which can usually
sleep a greater number. What's more, half of the rooms have ensuite facilities!
Comrie Croft has good facilities including a cosy lounge and a dining room with
mountain views. Travel - nearest train

Perth station to make it easy to come by train from most parts of the UK. (e.g

your camera, there'll be space to learn more photography techniques from a
professional photographer, with plenty of suggestions about how to get the most
from your camera, the light and the landscape. If you haven't done much
photography before, or have a camera that you're still getting used to -

their easy style that inspires confidence and a willingness to experiment -
always with great results! 'Landscape photography' covers the full range, from
