Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS) says that there will be an organised quarry blast on the 8th September 2016. The precise location in Succoth near Dalmally can be seen on this map. It is expected to be carried out at approximately 12 noon, however there may be some variation between 11am and 1pm. FCS is asking hillwalkers not to attempt to walk near this area for their own safety.The blast will be close to the main hillwalking access track to Ben Lui. The blasting will mean the lower part of the route will be closed all day on Thursday 8 September and walkers are being asked not to enter the forest near this location until Friday 9 September. Visitors will still be able to use the car park, however access along the riverside will be closed.
