The classic round. How was the descent off Toll Creagach back to the reservoir/dam? I've heard bad things about man eating heather & bracken.

Sounds like a sensible schedule, no rushing.

Quite a bit of bracken. We may have missed the path at one point as it seemed to be a choice between jumping 1 or 2 deer fences, or descending to the loch and scrambling over boulders. Certainly heather and bracken higher up, maybe down to around 120m altitude.
