Info here: https://www.mountaineering.scot/campaigns/safeguarding-access/strathfarrar-access
Basically get there for gate opening time or close to it as it's limited to 25 vehicles a day. Although we did it on a scorching hot Sunday and there were only 7 cars in.
Nice one cheers, is it a good outing?

2 weeks ago, The Strathfarrars:
How did you get on with access to these? I was looking at doing this route soon but read about access restrictions for vehicles to the Glen.

Did the Carn Mairg Circuit from Invervar just north of Loch Tay yesterday. Weather was amazing, almost too hot, but it's a cracking round of hills and on a clear day like yesterday the views are second to none. There was a river just down from the car park that was good for a swim afterwards, if anyone is planning on doing this round in the near future with the good weather still here I'd definitely advise taking a towel and heading down there afterwards.
One thing of note, the walk highlands guide reads
"On leaving the summit retrace your steps briefly; you can either head over the west top or bypass it on the north side to begin the descent down the long ridge on the south side of the Allt Coire a'Chearcaill. There is a clear path down this ridge which has great views of Glen Lyon ahead"
Watch out here, If you head over the west top, this to me on the day read as though you should head S straight after, this is not the case and takes you off on what looks like a ridge but actually isn't, way off track. What you really have to do is head almost NW to find the ridge path, which isn't clear here.

Back in Scotland for a month and keen to do some hiking whilst I’m here. Already got a plan to do Ben Vorlich (loch Earn) and the Pod of Glencoe next week. Got another day to spare around Glencoe, can anyone recommend a day hike?
If you are only going to have a limited time then why not go for one of the big ones, either the Aonach Eagach ridge or a day on Buachaille Etive Mor. Haven't done either yet but heard really good things about both. Especially with the weather being so good at the moment.

Alternatively, for an easier hike I could suggest Buachaille Etive Beag, its a fairly easy walk up to the bealach then you can decide if you want to take in both Munros or just one.

The Lost Valley also a cracking walk, but not involving any hills.

Theres a red builing opposite the omni, the 'Shezan Tandoori'. Follow the road down past that. Just make sure you have the address as its tucked away a bit.
Bookmarked this page, cheers.

The Theory Test centre in Ednburgh is over the road from the Omni cinema. Easy to find.
Cheers for that, i can easily make my way there via. Bus due to the good positioning of Corstorphine Road on the bus route and then getting to the Omni is a piece of piss. Pretty much made my mind up for me

Why not book in an Edinburgh test centre?
Thought of that myself so went on Google Maps and it doesn't seem to be too far from Corstorphine Road where i'll be saying so that looks like the most likely option, it wasn't till i seen they gave me a list of test centres that it clicked as i would have to go to Stirling anyway so it would actually be quicker and easier this way.

Thanks for the help, can't get one booked for a suitable date at the moment.. only one is a week away which i don't think would be enough time to study? Doesn't help that i'm going to be away in Edinburgh for the majority of the next 5 weeks.
