Ride, Càrn an Fhuaran A gap continuing from a road. This allows an easy escape from the moors through the trees. Even the gate has fallen down, so no awkward fence either.

New gate in the track Getting to this point in the track above Corriemollie Farm entails passing through several gates - most have recently been replaced. The track eventually leads into Corriemollie Forest, large parts of which are currently being felled, so I am guessing that the forestry operations have paid for the renewal of the gates and reconstruction of parts of the track.
