A figure of eight walk will take us past Loch Kinellan to the west of Strathpeffer to Contin, then to the east of Strathpeffer climbing to Knockfarrel hill fort and along the 'cat's back' ridge with an optional climb to the trig point on Cnoc Mor (269m).
The walk is mainly on good tracks and paths. However, those going to the Cnoc Mor summit should be aware that the descent is steep and slippery.
Anybody wishing a shorter walk can join us at Blackmuir Wood car park at approximately 12:00 for the 4.25 mile walk up Knockfarrel
