Anyone considering Ben Vorlich (Loch Earn) and Stuc a Chroin be aware that the bridge at Edinample on the south side of Loch Earn - one mile east from the A85 is still out after the floods during the winter. The access point at Ardvorlich House is ony accessible from St Fillans along the single track road!
The bridge over the Keltie Water just south of Arivurichardich was also washed away. This was the southerly approach (from Callander). If the river is low you will be able to ford it but in spate impossible. I don't think the farmer appreciates hill walkers so he will be happy that the bridge has gone and I doubt if he will replace it. Lindsay. www.caledoniahilltreks.com

I have heard that it may be a long time before it is repaired, the budget is not quite up to it.

Can you still get to the parking place on the track just before the bridge? If you can, was the footbridge at Glenample washed away? Then to compound the ifs and buts are "they" at Glenample amendable to us using the track through their curtilage to gain the hill by the Hill Road in Choire Fhuadaraich? -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"

Dont know if this is still the case.
Anyone had a run in lately?
When I was up there in February 2003 a chap in a Landrover met me on the walk in and he asked me whether I was going onto Ben Our as they would be going there for the hinds. He seemed quite happy for me to take the Hill Road to make a circuit of the two Munros. -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"
