ROUTE 2 From the car park at the road end just beyond Gualachulain, continue on the wide track along the lochside to a new pier. From here the path winds its way past the point at Àird Trìlleachan. Ignore the path heading R up to the famous climbing venue Etive Slabs, and a mile beyond the point take a turning R that ascends steeply for a short section before continuing to contour above the loch, eventually joining a forestry track. After walking round to a bridge over the Allt Easach you briefly leave the woods but soon enter the next plantation. Cross a second bridge over the Abhainn Dalach, and then arc round and down. Ignore the turning to the farm at Dail, and follow the track that heads R, and on to the edge of the conifers. The Cadderlie Burn and the bothy are now in sight. DISTANCE 7 miles TIME 2½ to 3 hours TERRAIN Straightforward. Track all the way except for last 200 yds PARKING Gualachulain (NN 112453)
