Landela lo mgwaqo: I-Craighall Bridge Loop eduze kwaseBlairgowrie.

Labo beminyaka ethile bazokhumbula ulayini we-A93 omdala osuka e-Blairgowrie ojikajika unqamula emahlathini awummango we-Crayhall Gorge kanye nokuduma nokukhala kwamasondo okujwayelekile e-Bailey Bridge.
Leli bhuloho laba yisixazululo sesikhashana enkingeni eqhubekayo yokuncipha, kodwa le ndawo yagcina yavalwa ngo-2008 lapho kuvulwa indlela entsha yokudlula.
Kuhlala kujabulisa ukubuka ukuthi imvelo iyibuyisela ngokushesha kangakanani imigwaqo namabhilidi alahliwe, futhi ingxenye ka-Craig Hall yalokhu kuhamba okuyindilinga osebeni loMfula i-Ericht iheha kakhulu.
Uma ungena usuka ohlangothini olusenyakatho, indawo yomgwaqo uma uqala ukuyibuka iyisicaba. Eqinisweni, isesimweni esingcono kunezingxenye zomgwaqo ezintsha.
Kodwa lapho ujula, imvelo ikhula kakhulu: utshani buyamboza umgwaqo ogandaywe, amagatsha ezihlahla anwebeka emaceleni ukuze ahlangane, umugqa omhlophe phakathi nomgwaqo uyanyamalala, ugcwele.
Umgwaqo omdala uhlaba umxhwele ikakhulukazi ngasekupheleni kwekwindla, lapho ukhaphethi omibalabala wamaqabunga awile ufihla iminonjana yokusetshenziswa kwawo kwangaphambili. Ibhuloho lisaphelele, ibhuloho eliwu-mossy ekugcineni lapho irobhothi lake lama khona, futhi umgoqo oyisivikelo oseceleni kwalo usuluhlaza esikhundleni sokugqwala.
Nakuba lokhu ngokungangabazeki kuyisici esivelele ekuhambeni, kunokuningi ongakujabulela endleleni. Kusuka eBlairgowrie Bridge, landela izimpawu zeCateran Trail ngasosebeni olusentshonalanga loMfula i-Ericht futhi ungafinyelela abantu ababili abaqaphayo ehlathini.
Okwesibili kwalokhu yiCargill's Leap, lapho ungqongqoshe ongekho emthethweni uDonald Cargill kuthiwa weqe emanzini agubhayo omfula omncane ukuze abaleke ngesibindi ama-dragoons.
UCargill, owazalelwa eRattray, wathuka uCharles II ngokwenqaba ukuqaphela umthetho omisa umbhishobhi eScotland, futhi inkosi yamkhokhela kanzima ngokuvukela umbuso. Nakuba asinda ngokulambisa lapha, ekugcineni wabanjwa futhi wabulawa ngo-1681.
Ukukhiqizwa kwezindwangu kwadlala indima enkulu ekuchumeni kwesifunda ngeminyaka yawo-1800s, futhi umfula ugcwele umlando wezimboni, izakhiwo ezishiyiwe noma ezivuselelwe kabusha, okuhlanganisa ne-Oakbank Mill, isigayo sokuqala sase-Scotland se-jute.
Umzila uqhubeka ehlathini elixubile elinamanxiwa amaningi kanye nezithombe eziningi zemvelo, kanye nendawo enhle yokubuka ama-squirrels abomvu. Ngayicisha iCatelan Trail phambi kwesango langasese elingenela eLonti, ngeqa ibhuloho, ngakhuphuka ngomgwaqo oyitiyela obheke eWoodhead Farm.

Craigal Road. Amakhilomitha amaningana okucula kwezinyoni, ukuzola nokuzalwa kabusha kwemvelo kuphelela emgodleni wensimbi, bese ungena futhi kuthelawayeka u-A93 ngebhuloho lomgwaqo.
Umgwaqo obuyela e-Blairgory unetiyela kakhulu, kodwa kunengxenye emfushane yomgwaqo okudingeka uyihambe ngokucophelela ngaphambi kokuba ufike endaweni yokupaka kwesokudla. Buyela emuva, landela umzila obhalwe ukuthi “Cargill's Leap” bese ulandela izinyathelo zokhuni ukuya ebhulohweni eliphezu komfula e-Oakbank's Mill. Weqa umgwaqo, jikela kwesokunxele bese ubuyela endaweni yokuqala eduze nomgwaqo wasekuqaleni ogudla umfula.
1. Dlula uye eBlergourie Bridge, jikela kwesokunxele bese ulandela i-Kateran Trail (emakiwe) eduze nomfula i-Ericht.
2. Khuphuka izitebhisi zokhuni uye kwesokunxele, bese ulandela indlela eya kwesokudla, wehle uye kwesokudla endaweni yokubuka umfula, bese uqhubekela ku-Cargill Jump, bese ukhuphuka igquma futhi ukuze ubuyele kumzila.

6. Shayela uqonde emzileni omakiwe phakathi kwamasimu. Ngena epulazini lezimvu ngesango bese ulandela indlela enotshani eya esangweni lepulazi lensimbi elinemigwaqo yaseceleni.

Izinga: Indawo ezungezayo emnandi eduze komfula nangemuva eduze komgwaqo omdala ongashiyiwe, olungele yonke iminyaka yobudala kanye namazinga okuqina emigwaqweni yasogwini nasehlathini, emaphethelweni enkundla nezindlela. Azikho izindlela zezinyawo engxenyeni emfushane yomgwaqo omkhulu, ngakho qaphela. Ezinye izindawo zinodaka impela, kunconywa izicathulo ezinhle. Umzila udlula emapulazini futhi izinja ziqashwe ngeso lokhozi. Sicela uvale yonke iminyango.
