How difficult is the Loch Katrine cycle route?
The entire route is on-road – most of which is a single track. The first five miles are quite hilly, but should you become a touch too tired, there is always the option at the far end of the loch of taking the steam ship Sir Walter Scott back to the visitors centre. Alternatively, you could get there in time for the morning boat and then cycle back. There’s also the added option of carrying on westward for a further five miles or so after Stronachlachar pier to Inversnaid, where you’ll get some fine views of Loch Lomond.
