Took the long way to the shop today.
Had never been up Glen Fincastle before and had spotted a route onto the top road of Allen forest. Missed the stone circle but found Loch Bhat which is a fishing Loch.
Well graded tracks in the forest meant the marsthon pluses mostly did fine but I needed the 22x36 on occasion
A bit of "misreading" of signs later (I'm sure they said "don't climb on timber stacks" rather than "keep oot") I found myself in areas of active forestry work before the descent but it turned out to be one forester and his harvester off to the side so got away with it.
Although the gate at the Bohspic Road was locked so had a heavy lift to do.
Intended heading to the Rannoch shop but after 2km heading west and realising it was too far past lunchtime I bailed on that plan in favour of the Tummel Bridge shop and a seemingly risk return up the hill to the caravan.
Claimed a few new tiles and I'm now looking at the tracks over to Blair Atholl and over to Strath Tay to get much more from the caravan.
I think if I'm not heading to the western Isles next week I might come back with the car, and mtb and a plan. (hiking kit is already here but I didn't use it when I wandered up into the forest yesterday
