Sunday 3 September
16.1km, 230m ascent
Mini-post, just for my records.
Mick dropped me off on the A86, just east of Cluny Castle so
that I could do a linear route up to Glen Banchor, then along the Glen to
Newtonmore (adding on a bit of the Wild Cat Trail at the end, just to make up
the distance).
It was lovey!
Heading up from Cluny
Castle to Strath an Eilich
Lumps and bumps and
lots of them(Looking SW-ish from Strath an Eilich)
Dalnashallac (estate
bothy) just before the track meets the River Calder
A narrow trodden line ran
along Glen Banchor, but not following the line of the old RoW shown on the map
The fords (x3) were
all benign on this day. The only place I got wet feet was in a bog, maybe 200m
long, at 7km through the route.
Ummm, maybe I won’t go
that way! (This is part of the old route of the wildcat trail that I’ve
followed before; I suspect it was rerouted because of the fallen trees)
What did Mick do? Go to the pub and watch the rugby?
ReplyDeleteRather less interestingly, he went back to Newtonmore to do some more TGO Challenge admin. He is, however, watching rugby as I type this.
