Crossing Flanders Moss

The Forestry Commission track following the route of the Strathendrick and Aberfoyle Railway eventually links up with the National Cycle Network Route 7 at Cobeland. The surface is relatively rough and towards its northern extent, becomes narrow with encroaching vegetation. In the distance, the peaks of Ben Lomond (far left) and Ben Venue (right of centre) can be noted.
