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 Kingussie’s Slow Ways.

After heavy rain it may be impossible to cross the final river to the bothy and therefore it is essential that you carry a tent. Into Glen Feshie there is a short section of single track road then you cross over the river back onto paths. The river here has eroded the path in places so there are a few points where you have to scramble up and down some steep banks and cross eroded bouldery streams at the bottoms (I've done this most recently in Spring 2023 and can confirm it is still the same). The alternative is to stay on the single track road on the West side of the river which will take you all the way to Glenfeshie Lodge, but then you then have to cross a ford as there is no bridge. In contrast in very dry weather you may be able to just cross directly opposite the bothy....

F Berry added Dalkin two, a new walk from Dalwhinnie to Kingussie
Walk this routeAt Phones I headed away from Dalkin one, up the hill on tracks over to Loch Cuaich then along the aqueduct to Dalwhinnie, so I cannot say what the southern half of this route is like, however it continues along General Wade's military road, then follows minor roads....

Off the road, there are a couple of slightly boggy areas, and a short section of narrow path through a woodland, but it is mostly rough tracks across upland moor as you can see in the photos....
