Craig Fonvuick Walk

The area covered by this walk contains some of the finest woodland in Perthshire and provides habitats for a rich variety of flora and fauna. It was formally managed as a reserve by the RSBP who marked out an unobtrusive circular trail giving walkers the access to all of the interesting parts. The RSBP withdrew in 2004 and since then the local estate has maintained the car park and looked after the walk. 

 The recent heavy rain has caused many landslips around the area

 Hitting the snow line at about 200m

 Very photogenic Helen today

 Snow ball fight!

 Cheeky face!

So something a little bit different today. Today day Dave Girling and I took 7 journalists out on sit on top kayaks down a section of the River Tay in Perth. The journalists where from Scotland Outdoors, Visit Scotland, a couple of radio stations and a couple of news papers, this was all in aid of promoting this years 'Adventure Festival' Here are some links to what the folks had to say.... http://www.scotoutdoors.com/features/adventure-on-the-tay
