I've often told worried friends/family that the most dangerous part of a day in the hills is the drive home! Thanks for the heads up on that one. Maybe a cycle

I never thought to look into anything like that because it's not an authority maintained road. You usually are at your own risk on a private road. Find out the cost of the damage in 25mins.....

If you are doing both ends of the Buachaille, you might just as well park 1km further west at the start of the Lairig Gartain path, which is often less busy.
Another mark to put in the book!
I ended up parking in the top car park. Was nice coming off and being at the car!
