diagram of route View from transmitter

Dont need to say much on this one. It is on a fairly stable surface, I have yet to measure the distances, although a round trip is very roughly approximately 5 miles. The viewpoint at the transmitter is excellent, so take a camera. If you start from the point on my drawing, you have a choice of two downhills, the first one you cross on the way up to the transmitter (its a wide grey hairpin where you join it). Or you can take the right just after leaving the viewpoint, this is the better one (thrillwise) the track is narrower and full of gulleys, so hold on. Once you reach the road you can turn left for Drumnadrchit or right for Inverness.

EASY DOWNHILL
