Day 5 Blackburn bothy to Glen Markie

13th May

A bit more rain overnight dut the day turned out dry.

Blackburn bothy in the morning 
A short walk along General Wade's road before descending to the River Tarff which I followed to nice little bothy below the Glen Doe Dam. I have added it to the 'places to stay' list.
A little used track
Steeply up to the dam and then the wind-farm motorway for a few miles. I would think this is the last of the big hydro dams that will be built.

Escape from the wind farm

I escaped from the wind-farm and followed the Allt Odhar before turning up Glen Markie.

Looking back to the start of Glen Markie
Found a good camp spot and it was warm enough for a proper wash in the river



13 miles walked 750 meters ascent
