Nav is generally easy as you are mainly on well defined trails or following burns, rivers, glens and other generally noticeable features. The track shown on the map that runs along the south shore of the Loch actually goes into it on several occasions. Camusericht Lodge is situated in an elevated and private position off the main road, with southerly views over Loch Rannoch and beyond to Glen Lyon. You could use the bridge if the burn was up and then walk down stream to pick up this track (which follows the line of the path shown on 1:25k maps) with dry feet. Follow road through the village and along the north shore of Loch Rannoch then 9 miles along the loch side to Bridge of Ericht. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. However doing it as a there and back again would be an excellent use of about 3 - 4 hours or so. Covering some 68000 acres stretching from Loch Rannoch to Dalwhinnie. Turn right, 3 miles to Kinloch Rannoch. Yet another blog about someones biking adventures. The plan had been to ride over Bealach Leamhain to Loch Pattack, then out to Dalwhinnie, thence to Newtonmore by NCN 7. If you do decide to push through, its around 4k of difficult going. Technically its harder this way but all good stuff and there are no significant challenges. It can be climbed either from either Corrour or Rannoch stations on the West Highland line. and should be on anyone's Scottish mountain biking to do list. Keep right for maximum chance of dry feet. Down we raced to Loch Rannoch then at Bridge of Ericht we cheated and took the hydro road up to Loch Ericht. This is worth a miss as its not really on the ground and the terrain is rough boulder strewn peat hags. This is a top view point and should be enjoyed! So be warned and take the right kit. A fine evening in 2018 looking west to the Glencoe hills. The old lodge is also a top bivvy spot, I'm here on a tour north. Above was the most snow recorded in a generation but only a skier or mountaineer would have realised this. Loch Eighaech and snow-capped mountains south of Rannoch Forest I was heading through this area on the way back to where I'd left my car from Aviemore. So that's all for lecturing, onto the riding! This was originally an estate lodge but then became a hospital for TB sufferers on the basis that they needed isolation and lots of fresh air. Carie lies around 3.5 miles west of Kinloch Rannoch on the south side of Loch Rannoch. Away from winter (which runs from October to May!) This is a bit harder than the Allt Cam path but its well worth it for the views alone. Water is, however, in plentiful supply. I can confirm that the "path" by the Uisge Laibhair isn't worth doing, all but unrideable. This was one of those fat bike 'moments' as a normal bike would have been hopelessly bogged down through this stuff whereas the fatty rolled through the lot. In about three hours time you'll be at the notch at the top of this glen looking back down to your present location. This is pleasantly rough after the main access track but still level and easy to the YH.

The next challenge was to cross the Allt Cam which was a shoes and socks off job. You've either got to do the above, do the equally hard Ben Alder tour or include it in one of two epic circuits (more later!) It will also help me remember where I've been over the years! Many parts of the WLA are of high scenic valueiii, recognised by being within the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe National Scenic Area (NSA), the northern edge of the Loch Rannoch and Glen Lyon NSA, the Ben Alder, Laggan and Glen Banchor Special Landscape Area (SLA), and overlapping with the Cairngorms National Park in the far east. It would also makeĀ  a good camp spot although annoyingly there is a fire site here.
