There is now an improved track from the parking to the railway and then up the side of the River Falloch to a new small dam at 300 metres.
After going under the railway and passing the new turbine building, we went up the track through one gate ( new) and at the second gate, up and right to pick up a small formative trod, which took us nicely up to the Sron Garbh ridge.
We had a cracking day in the sun and with benign winds.
This was great, after having been battered by strong winds up in the NW earlier in the week.
