Hi Alan,

Glad to see that it worked for you after all.

Scary dogs, overgrown tracks, speeding lorries and rickety boggy entrances: it does sound as if they don’t want us going through that forest, doesn’t it? Yes, that bealach is a right bog but I think that I was lucky with the bealach thanks to Scotland having an excellent May.

Thanks for the complements and the mention on your own very spruced up blog.

Hello John
Success! That worked – I am now registered.
I came this way on my LEJOG in the rain on the 7th & 8th May last year. That bealach was a bit of a pig – it had been raining for days and i was a collosal bog – even the downhill bits! I found the track okay down to Succoth Lodge and the road (it was very over-grown and not in use) but also a very large out of control hound that frightened me half to death.
I think you chose the best route!

Wonderful blog, by the way! Throughly enjoy reading you!
