A short day up and down from Glen Finnan and Glen Shiel track. Initially up stream but then cut up to ridge too early on awkward tussocky ground. Much better descent line. On way up stick with old track near stream until about 150 metres beyond a distinctive wooden post for much better line up. | dickscroop | 02/03/2016 |
