Fire station... Almost discernible track leading to gate which has two fire beaters and a shovel type thing to fire-fight with, should the forest go on fire. It would probably have to stop raining for a day or two before fire became a real concern.

Col between Glen Aros and Glen Bellart An important pass linking Salen with the north of Mull without having to use the tortuous Tobermory to Dervaig road. The col between the glens is within a large Forestry Commission woodland.

Allt Gleann Mhic Caraidh An attractive watercourse with many waterfalls due to the resistant lava flows in this trap basalt landscape. Progress is easy up the wooded east side. The view is changing; at the time of visit diggers were working either side of me, building a new forestry road. A bridge will be built in the foreground providing a route for timber lorries, independent of the public road which has a weight limit. Lorries just push the road into the bog leaving a sump killing crown on the road.
