  1. Hi (again)

    Last year (May) I was walking from Morar to the bothie of fionnaraich
    (near Achnasshellach). Often pathless.
    This was a 'top' location for putting my tent
    http://www.hiking-site.nl/fotoalbums/showphoto.php?photo=4291&size=big&cat=
    Within 2 months i am already back
    but now, still planning my trip.

    I walk the rest of the route to the cape in two years.
    A walk along Loch Maree
    to the fantastic Letterewe/Fisherfield
    wilderness
    is not the most direct route.
    I finish this year in lochinver.
    A night on suilven?

    After a route over Seana Bhraigh, northern by the cromalt hills to
    Elphin.
    But if it is possible (time!!) via coigach and inverpolly.
    (after seeing this photo's)

    My question: can I cross this water?
    How deeply is it if no rain has fallen?

    Who knows it?

    Exactly the same question came up in this group a few years ago.

    IIRC, the gap is about 15 metres. Viewed from Stac Pollaidh the
    water does not show any features on the bottom of the Loch. The
    assumption therefore is that it is swimming depth rather than
    wading depth.

    You can as long as there hasn't been too much rain.

    As you can see from this photograph taken at the spot you are talking
    about, I am on one side and my mate is on the other, we both started
    on the same side and boulder hopped over and back.

    Oh well. It didn't look like that when I saw it <shrug>

    Info stashed away for future backpacking reference.
