Overview

This is, provisionally, an out-and-back Y-shaped route sticking largely to forestry roads due to current storm damage affecting many of the forest paths. Forest and Land Scotland has closed Jocks' Road and the riverside paths within the forest, except for the route to Corrie Fee which is open (at time of planning). Furthest points are Corrie Fee and /or the top of the forest using the Jock's Road diversion on the opposite bank. Can become a loop if paths are cleared by summer.
