Evaluation: 3*-4* walk, depending on conditions.
Route:
By June 2018, the walk in/out could be biked easily from A86 to about 2kms
beyond the ruin at Lubvan.
The details below give walking (30/5/03) and cycling (4/6/08) times.
There are no stepping stones over the Allt Cam at NN444765, so avoid the river in spate.
Reasonable deer paths for return along Dubh Lochan valley.
Weather (4/6/08): Warm, dry, scattered high clouds, breeze.
