Re: Lost, Lowe Alpine hat on Ben lui. Friday 29Apr

Well, who would have thought it. My lost hat was not so lost after all. Found it yesterday evening hiding inside a glove in the rucksack.

Hi folks,

Looking for some advice, Planning a walk up Beinn Achaladair in the next few weeks, but i notice the walk reports state the bridge is down at 354468, is this still the case? If so is there a path or track on the south side of the river?

Thanks in Advance.
