Loch Maree(ish) heading south?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Allen's post reminded me that I wanted to ask a question - does anyone know whether it's possible to travel from Loch Maree down towards Torridon? The map shows a track starting at NG856720 leading off the A832, heading SE and running alongside Loch na h-Oidhche but it appears to falter at the end of the loch.

The map also shows a path running round the east side of Sgurr Mor which again appears to be a dead-end.

I'm wondering whether they're actually joined or could be? Or is it a stupid notion and something I should forget ever seeing?

Ideas / comments welcome, ta.

It's been done. On foot.

I've stood at both track ends and wondered the same. There's no way I would attempt it with a bike. It's not just a wide boggy area, it is littered with massive boulders

As I said in the other thread, Pòca Buidhe is no longer a bothy.

Stu, I don't know if you've seen it but the map at http://www.whoownsscotland.org.uk/geo/index.htm shows estate boundaries which can help in deciding if the infamous Scottish black dashed lines are likely to join up.

A lot of the tracks are for "estate business" rather than providing a means of travelling from one glen to another, after all if there's one track doing that why would you need another?

Well, it's good to know that Colin hasn't dismissed it completely and that's an interesting site Bob.

I'll do some more digging but it looks like something I might consider having a stab at should be ever be allowed back out again

Sounds like an ideal route candidate for the next BB2000.

Can I add mass start at the same time from point of route nearest your own home-just to make dot watching as confusing as the route

I've thought of going up the path along Glen Grudie to its end and linking through to the path round the back of Liatach below Sail Mhor (which is a good 'un for the most part) The gap is only about 3k, how bad can it be
