Re: Track along Allt Garbh

I took the boggy path on the Eastern side last time, so your memory is correct William. I think it has been 'improved' since the hydro works went in. Enjoy 🙈

Re: Track along Allt Garbh

The aerial photos show a major road now on the east side of the burn, heading south from those coordinates. Appears to be linking hydro/power facilities. Nothing resembling a boggy path these days, anyway.

Re: Track along Allt Garbh

Thanks for the confirmation. Hope we can meet in Cougie on Thursday 12th or the evening ferry on the Sat 14th --- or someplace else.

Re: Track along Allt Garbh

I walked this path in 2021. The path is to the east of the burn as you recall but to the west of the LRT. It's a fairly well-defined path, boggy and with at least one fallen tree to climb through/over (may well be more now). I think the 1:50K OS map showing a path on the west of the burn is either incorrect or out of date. There is no path at all on the latest 1:25K map.

Re: Track along Allt Garbh

See you at Cougie! We spent a while walking together to Ballater in ?18 or ?19??
