Progress Map


This is where are are at present, with the blue lengths yet to survey. We are going to take a break for a month to allow the stalking season to pass, and will complete the remaining 42.6 miles in early November, which includes about 10% of the Dochart catchment (shown here) and about 5 miles in Glen Lochay. The Lyon catchment is 100% complete.
I still have a reasonable stock of material in reserve and will continue to post on here on a daily basis if I can.

Trees in the landscape


These trees are situated on the lower slopes of Ben Lawers and are very distinctive in the landscape.
