Strange bridge over the Allt Lundie The bridge is strange because the track stretches 30 or so metres beyond and then comes to a turning circle - and nothing else! It does parallel the ford lower down and in spate could be used as the preferred crossing, but there is no path or track joining up the far side.

Derelict bridge over the Allt Glac na Connspeach The state of this bridge pretty well sums up the state of the path (OS 50,000) or track (OS 25,000). Fine at times, boggy frequently, totally absent a lot of the time.

Track improvements, Loch Lundie It was pouring with rain, and quite a few folk were up here looking for a low level alternative to stormbound hills. Heading back to Invergarry along a road which seems to be halfway through a rebuilding exercise.
