  Thanks - good tip. The YH manager has confirmed it’s ok for me to camp on the grounds - use of the facilities a no go tho unfortunately as the YH is let to a private function on that day. Now swithering on whether to book a hotel one night near the end - too many wild camping days for my liking ;)

  Thanks - I saw a report on a forum of someone wild camping discretely on the south coast of the loch, so hopefully it will be OK. We're not yet into stalking season, I think (late-Sept/Oct?) No availability at the YH unfortunately but have asked about camping in the grounds/use of the facilities - thanks for the tip.

  I'm trying to find out if the last few hundred metres of the south path from corrour station to staoineag bothy are passable by bike - google maps resolution not sharp enough. anyone got any resources to help with this? I can find plenty of examples of people walking the north path (on youtube etc) but don't want to have to cross the river on the standing stones...

  edit: I'll probably just wild camp on the south shore of loch ossian. no availability at the youth hostel, sadly.

  cool - so no issues with maneuverability and/or the thing getting caught on protrusions (e.g. large rocks)?

  got 25mm tape (for 21mm internal rims) on advice of someone here. fitted it to one rim... quite creased, with particular pitting in the spoke-wells. can't seat tyre when pumped. lovely stuff
