Bridge Glen Tilt

Does anybody know if the footbridge in Glen Tilt at NN 952 727, shown on the map is really there? Think I can see it on Google Earth. Just want to make sure...

(Seems to be a nice spot for a stoveless brew )

Can't recall the name of the site showing pics of features and bridges etc. Searchable by grid reference. Anyone?

Re: Bridge Glen Tilt

Looks like a substantial bridge

Thank you Judith!

Re: Bridge Glen Tilt

Is that grid ref right?
NN 952 727 on Viewranger seems to be on a hill.

They is a bridge at NN 956 762 though.
And an absolutely brilliant place to camp over the bridge.
Camped there a few years back.

Re: Bridge Glen Tilt

Me and Andy plan to use that bridge on our route. Its in this link:

Map shows way down with no hassles.

Re: Bridge Glen Tilt

@Andy: You're right Sir! That grid ref is where I'm eventually heading down.

Tnx for the link Martin.
That's about the route planned. Alternatively I descend straight North to the Bridge; ommitting Beinn a'Ghlo

Re: Bridge Glen Tilt

Yep , that is the bridge.
Superb spot.
We had 5 tents near it, and one was a TS.

Re: Bridge Glen Tilt

D.mn! I only have one

Here you go, Willem:

D.mn! I only have one


But Martin & I may well be there after Bienn a' Ghlo
As it's a perfect spot for the next days walkie

Oh, and that horrid yellow thing was my TS (which I have sold on now)

Re: Bridge Glen Tilt

There are two REAL tents in the picture as well!
