Seana Bhraigh from Oykel Bridge

Seana Bhraigh from Oykel Bridge


Postby davekydd » Tue May 08, 2012 1:28 pm

Has anyone climbed Seana Braigh starting from Oykel bridge and if so is it possible to drive to Corriemulzie Lodge. I have heard the road/track is driveable with care but would like any info. from anyone who has done it recently

Definitely driveable to the lodge, unless you have a VERY low slung car!
There's even a wee car park with a sign saying Walkers Car Park just before you get to the lodge. :)
The track after that is also very cycleable :D
Hope this helps and have a great trip!

Yes no problem driving to the lodge, Only possible obstacles on walk/bike from there is a couple of burns that can be tricky in spate. The bothy is great as well.

I heard the estate have put a new "car park" in the area on the way to the bothy.
Does anyone have the grid reference for it. Trying to work out some logistics, ie timings

Although you may now be able to drive a fair bit of the way, it would be a shame to do so. The cycling is easy as far as the Lodge, and there's a wonderful atmosphere in the glen which you don't get in a car.

I was in touch with them a month back and they told me they have a dedicated hillwalker car park down the estate. I am doing Seana Bhraigh next week, my only worry is if they shut the estate track on days there is Stalking taking place, up until the 20th October.

We took my mate's Landy down that track to the walker's car park, it's rough like. Fine approach for Seana Bhraigh though. 8)
