Much thanks to all for the very helpful advice. I have changed my route and will use the original as a FWA. But it will be another perfect day weather wise.

I will give the route another last look tonight and submit it tomorrow.

Hope to meet everyone along the way.

Hello William,

I did a similar route to Gordon a few years ago. with a messy traverse through peat hags. You can't avoid it in that area. Fingers crossed you have a dry day!

If the weather is bad and you go for the FWA I assume you are on the track as far as NH781205, then crossing to Carn Thearlaich, NH789187. Make sure you follow your bearings there. I daydreamed and followed my nose and got well mis-positioned (OK lost) on that shortish traverse.
NB there are tea huts at NH785216 and 797178 if you need shelter.:smiley:

Hi William,

as I recall there are no obstacles on the way up, just a locked shooting hut at the end of the good track. Well, just past the ruins of Coignafeuinternich, there is a sheep fence and a little river crossing.
Going down after the 710 - 730 m point I stuck really close to the river and there was a nice walking corridor, sometimes even with a little path made by sheep. It was so nice, I even took it to the road that crosses the Allt Steallaig. The road now goes on for quite a bit to the east. When I walked there, there was a lot of shooting going on - maybe wear something bright? :)
