No pictures of that spot on Geograph (or goggles) but their map states it's a ford. Wet feet unavoidable I suppose.

I don't remember owt John.
Just did the road from the Loch.
Best be rollin' up thee trooser legs lad!

Thanks Andrew - I was just hoping to avoid trench-foot. Or tarmac-pounding induced footache.

I don't think there ever was a bridge here. Because there is a dam control on water levels in the river it can rise and fall at short notice. If low you can get across the weir. If not, embrace the tarmac thrill.

Thanks Theo, I suppose I'll just end up using the tarmac if the bridge isn't there.

Ho hum.
