Help connect Garelochhead

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Garelochhead’s Slow Ways.

Further up there's also a view of Loch Lomond. There was now a long, long section of tarmac road but I saw almost no motor traffic here, and it was a beautiful valley.
