Re: River Crossing Allt Leachdach at NN 2572 7886 South of Roybridge

Robert. Certainly no bridge there atNN 257 788.Once you've mastered the
mesh fence. There is one old length of railway line crossing the Allt,
which has very/very steep sides.No go unless you are a gymnast.
If you continue up to the bothy Lairig Leacach.Cross over and up to
Coire Na Caibaig. A lovely route along Coire Laire to Fersit and West.
Good/ really good pitches all the way through.Train Halt at Fersit Cheers.

Re: River Crossing Allt Leachdach at NN 2572 7886 South of Roybridge

Can't help with that bridge Robert, but if you are stopping in Roybridge and want to get to the southern side of the Spean I can give information about some crossings east of Roybridge.

NN299800 near bunkhouse. Apart from a hop over the railway, there are no problems crossing here

NN285805 shown on 50K maps but not on 25k and there is a good reason for this as it's no longer there

If conditions on the Spean are favourable it is possible to ford at NN276805 (immediately after eastern end of Bunroy campsite) but as this is from rock to rock it is likely to be unavailable outside of summer months.

Regards

Phil, I think rather than NN299800 you might be thinking of either 299810 or 299809. the bridge over the railway line is at NN301809.

Re: River Crossing Allt Leachdach at NN 2572 7886 South of Roybridge

Did they not close down Fersit as a railway halt - or did I imagine that?

Re: River Crossing Allt Leachdach at NN 2572 7886 South of Roybridge

oops! mumble, mumble, bugger! I've stayed at the bunkhouse before so made an unscheduled hop across the line right opposite the river bridge, but I'll remember to go the long way around next time

Thanks, maybe it will be frozen over in February?
