Hi All,

Hopefully quick question. I am a bitt confused about a section of my route from Strathcarron to Bendronaig Lodge. The OS 1:50,000 map shows a track connecting the route through the bealach from Lohan Fauna to the dirt road that crosses the Black Water (NG 38 99). However, the 1:25,000 doesn't show the last section of this track, and I can't quite tell from the Google satellite view if there really is a connection or if the little burns feeding into the Black Water are crossable in this area. Has anyone been through there recently to know if this track actually exists?

Thanks!

Well yes. And no 😂 The path is mainly good past Lochan Fuara and over the Bealach until about half a kilometre maybe from the main track. You may find then that the path is a bit vague through the boggy sections and easy to lose, but you can see the main track you are aiming for and I just head straight for it over the least boggy ground. Shouldn't pose any problems, even in poor visibility and walking on a bearing when the path gets vague. Lovely wild country

Thanks, that helps a lot. Can't wait! :slightly_smiling_face:

It's a lovely start! Straight into the hills and feeling remote. Enjoy!

You typically get better aerial views from OS than you do with Google. Either use the OS website

Hi Brennan,
We came that way last year and there weren't any problems route finding round there.
