In reply to JohnnyW:
> Depends whether you mean take the fire road from nearer to Kinloch Rannoch, (the way we went back) or whether you walk in and across the dam at the end of Ericht, as we did. The section from there back to the estate road is a quagmire....unless you know better, and that too now has a path?
No track or real sign of a path on the section from the southern Loch Ericht dam to near the building close to the Cam Chriochan. Like I say the track now gets to with 2km of the bothy.
What on earth possessed you to go that way? Apart from the marginally less height to be gained............
