From the parking area, the track leads on through the campsite to a kissing gate. The campsite shop, which sells ice cream and midge nets, is just up to the left here. Go through the gate and pass to the left of the campsite’s toilet block to a kissing gate. Here paths divide; take the right-hand one, below green water tanks. The path runs just above the shoreline and is reasonably clear and firm. After crossing one fairsized stream, 1 mile (1.6km) out from the camp site it reaches the much larger Allt Coire Lagan.

If the stream is too full to cross, head upstream for a short distance to a footbridge. It is unmaintained, so eye it up carefully. If it is still safe, cross it then return downstream. The path continues beyond, becoming gradually fainter and bearing up left to join the track just mentioned. The track fords a stream on bare rock, with a little gorge and waterfall just above. Now the track becomes a bit more exciting; a low outcrop is above, and the top edge of sea cliffs are not far below you.

At the next stream crossing, where the track bends slightly down towards the sea, take a path forking up to the left. It ascends gradually, crossing a small stream and passing to the right of a lochan. Just beyond the lochan, the path divides: keep up slightly right, onto the flat-topped rock knoll of Creag Mhor. Continue to a rounded knoll just beyond.

Looking down to the right, towards Loch Brittle, you can see the return track just below. Ahead, a faultline valley crosses the entire peninsula from side to side. This is the Slochd Dubh, or Black Gap. Your route goes down to the Slochd Dubh and then turns back. From Creag Mhor the direct descent into the valley is steep, so head left 100yds (91m), then go down a grassy gap with a small path. At the foot of the slope, turn right, to the start of the track. It runs back below the outcrop of Creag Mhor, with the sea below on your left, and soon rejoins the outward route at Point 3. For a slightly easier return to the campsite, keep following the rough track that runs a bit further up the slope than the path of the outward journey.

At the ford of Allt Coire Lagan, go down to the footbridge if necessary, then rejoin the track. Once above the campsite, a small path on the left runs down to the toilet block. Just beyond it, you can bear left to follow the beach back to the car park.
