Hi,

I'm trying to avoid going into Tomich to save time coming in from Loch Beinn á Mheadhoin from the west and cross Abhainn Deabhag river. I can see that there's some type of road and then a track that crosses over the river directly into Plodda Falls. Do you know if there's a walkbridge there or if the river is fordable? Is the river even fordable closer to Tomich or do I have to go via Cougie and/or into Tomich to cross it?

I've looked at pictures on Google both on the river to see if it's fordable and looked here to see if there's a bridge or not https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochness/Ploddafalls.shtml but it doesn't tell. Help! :)


I can't get the OS map reference via Viewranger OS Maps so I'll include a link to show what I mean.

Not sure if this will help:

It's always worth trying the search bar above, you'll often find someone has asked the same or similar question before 😊

Thanks for the fast reply.

I did see that one actually but I didn't know I could use the osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk just until now to search for grid locations. But that answers my question for that bit where I marked on the map.

Hi Andre

I waded the stream at the ford at NH275240 below Plodda Falls in September it was only about 30cm deep and slow flowing. In spate (high-water) you might need to continue down to Tomich.

Fordable here.
