General Wade's road and the River Spey The road about 3km from Melgarve with the Spey alongside and the Beauly to Denny power line heading into the distance towards the bend to the northwest into Corrie Yairack. The previous lower voltage power line passed to the south of Creag Bheag, whereas the new line takes a more direct route to the north side.

A car on Wade's Road The last few kilometres of the road to Melgarve from Garva Bridge is in good condition but pretty quiet. I saw about half a dozen vehicles and a few cyclists in about 4 hours.

Power line tower below Creag Mhor One of the towers that support the Beauly to Denny power line, a 220km long set of lines transmitting electric power at 400kV. Towers range in height from 42 to 65m; in this one the six sets of twin lines are strung with their insulators horizontal, rather than hanging from the arms. The background is the steep southern face of Creag Mhor.

Upstream along the Spey Already quite a wide river, this is the Spey a few miles downstream from its source.

Downstream along the Spey A view down the Spey with the surfaced road from Garva Bridge to near Melgarve to the left. It was about here that I was flagged down by a motorist heading the opposite way having turned round at the road end. His satnav had sent him this way to reach Fort Augustus and he was anxious to know if I was doing the same. [no] It's a long way back to the A86 and then A82, but slightly less rough.
