Sue parked her car in the lay-by on the south side of the A87 Glen Shiel Road just east of the bridge over the Allt Mhalagain and I drove her to the start of the walk, which was the private road to Cluanie Lodge just east of the Cluanie Inn.
The road was followed for around six kilometres to just west of the bridge over the Allt Giubhais where a small cairn marked the start of a stalkers path.
The starting point of the walk was the A87 just east of the Cluanie Inn at the beginning of the old road that ran from Cluanie to Tomdoun prior to the area being flooded for a dam.
Take this road and travel along it for a mile or so until the loch is visible on the right.
Continue along the road for five miles or so to Sallachy.The next location is around a mile past Sallachy but it is easier to find going back towards the main road.
Go along this road for several miles until you pass over a small bridge with horizontal metal railings.
