Temporary bridge complete at Derry Lodge

Temporary bridge complete at Derry Lodge


Postby Cairngormwanderer » Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:37 am

Mar Lodge Estate has posed pictures on Facebook today showing the new temporary bridge at Derry Lodge, which has now been completed. https://www.facebook.com/MarLodgeEstate ... =1&theater
Thanks to ScotWays for supplying the bridge and the estate staff for installing it.
In the long term there will be a permanent crossing in a different location in that area, but this one will allow continuity of access for the next year or so.

Swell news. Shamefully neglected the Cairngorms last year, fine reason to get back there.
