Nice track up from Belnagauld. With R and Bjenx28/12/2019
Parked at the Bellabeg car park, then Bunzeach forest road, passing the grassy cross track with its the blind signpost and way marker pole. Right, uphill at the next fork onto a mud track, and continued on this to the fence, getting progressively rougher with old brash and newly planted seedlings across the track. This track is not as mapped. Followed the LHS (NE side) of the fence up hill, hopping over when the felled area became mature trees. Heathery vehicle track (not on the map) following the fence to a pond, and a good track thereafter, which is on the map (though it comes from over the hill, and not from Belnagauld). The cairn needs a fence hop where the fence changes direction. Followed the other side of the fence down, with small trees closing in lower down, but a firm path. Found a grassy ruined fence line (on the map), easy going on or beside it down to the outwards track. The start of this path has a garden cane marker.Gill04/03/2019
