Head to: Blair Atholl
From Blair Atholl, travel NW on A9 to Dalnacardoch. N.B. as Dalnacardoch is on the S heading side of a section of dual carriageway, you may wish to head N to single carriageway and turn S. Otherwise, stop at the beginning of the dual carriageway and walk 1200mW to the start of the route.
