HT550 Bridge out detour needed!

[postierich]

After a loop in the central belt this weekend the bridge is out on the way to Loch Rannock no diversion on place and there were big fences in places to stop you crossing due to the bridge collapse. We managed to get out bikes over but it was a struggle !!

I can't see the strava location Rich - can you cut and snip a map onto a post? There are a few alternative routes but I will drop a line to Alan to let him know
Cheers

Just seen that Javi did the Badger Divide and posted a photo of a locked gate "due to a hole in a bridge" - https://www.strava.com/activities/10171952069 from the trace it looks like he headed back down to Loch Rannoch then came back up through the forest.

Alan has made an alternative route now which hopefully I'll get to test in the next few weeks.

Hmmm. I'd been told by Alan it was the bridge just as you leave the forest - he'd been told by someone who had ran another ITT of something and had diverted via a rough path down to the road and then back up past a farm....

Hoping to get out there myself at the weekend so will have a nosy

Edit - BA on the FLS website although they do say the bridge between the campsite and Carie car park is shut...

Also they are saying the Great Glen Way is diverted to the Low route between Invermoriston and Alt na criche but not clear where this is - could impact the new bit to Loch Ma Stack?

Hi,
This is the diversion from the "other ITT". One of my mates was in it.

That's what Alan shared - so looks like three bridges out!

That diversion looks the same as the one that Javi did on his ride.

Three bridges out?

I'm probably missing something Bob - Javis route looks like he went right down the Gallabaich route to Kilvrecht campsite and then back up from Corie as if the wee bridge on the muddy link track is out. The route above goes down at the west end of the forest and back up the track through the fields.... Another bridge is out between Kilvrecht campsite and Corie car park.

Don't think I'm going to make it that far this weekend

Friends of mine passed through this weekend. They "negotiated a poorly secured barrier and crossed carefully"
