Route
Meet at small parking area on B851 near to the entrance of Dumnaglass wind farm (w3w: putty.twinge.umbrellas). Please try to car share as parking area is just off the road & not huge, there are a couple of other parking areas nearby at entrance to mast on B851(GR: NH613246, w3w: today.cackling.leaps) & junction of B851 & Abersky road (GR: NH607245, w3w: home.offstage.beaten)

The route is on good tracks & minor roads in South Loch Ness with 305m ascent. We will walk through the Dumnaglass estate past Loch Conagleann to Aberchalder & Loch Mhor, here we join the Trail of the Seven Lochs through Errogie then follow the river Farigaig to Torness & Abersky. This is a very quiet area of South Loch Ness; we will see lots of lambs and wildlife on this walk, hopefully some raptors too!

General Notes
Sorry no dogs on this walk due to the sheep & lambs on route. To book, send your mobile number, membership number & emergency contact details to walks.northofscotland@ldwa.org.uk
