@rgf101: You are right, the title "bothy bagging" is a bit misleading. It's not my aim to visit as many as possible, just the ones that are really nice and make sense on our route. That's why I skip Lairig Leacach Bothy.
@all:
Way from Rannoch Station to Lochan Sron Smeur:Does anyone know, what to expect, when I roughly follow the pathless route I marked in red, that links the two other paths on the map? The river that has to be crossed is
Allt Eigheach. Is it easy fordable, when not in spate?
Way from Meanach/Staoineag Bothy to Loch Chiarain:1)
Chiaran path via Gleann Lolairean from south tip of Loch Treig to Blackwater Reserve. This one is pretty clear.
2) I think I skip the alternative
route via Loch Eilde Beag & Loch Eilde Mor as it looks rather like a broad gravel road than a nice small path. Good for mountainbiking but maybe a bit boring for hiking. Am I right?
3) Another alternative that seems pretty interesting is
via Gleann na Giubhsachan - just
between Glas Bheinn and Beinn na Cloiche. Do you think it's better to walk east or west of the river?
