Kingairloch to Fiunary nr Lochaline via Loch Uisge, Gleann Geal, Kinlochaline, Lochaline.
Nearly all single track road - A884 - with only a few miles of lochside track passing the sand mine near Lochaline.
No Marked Trail
Before setting off I considered venturing coastwards around Glensanda Quarry. The weather was truly awful, so I elected not to take the gamble of a cross country route with possible health & safety barriers near the quarry. It was an unknown risk so I sadly stayed with the road. With more investigation there may well be a route around the quarry. The castle near Lochaline looked very picturesque but not in my weather. The camera stayed in its pouch all day, so the photograph accompanying this route is a grotty image of Loch Aline captured with my phone. I suspect this is a walk that would score much higher on a decent day with a better cross country route.
My Rank **
