The Old Road to Tarbert

We went orienteering today in the drizzle and the mist. I surprisingly had a good day whereas poor Mr P got lost in the cloud  that descended on the hillside  and he had to miss out 4 of his 15 controls (checkpoints).  This deserved a good warming lunch in the Waterside Cafe in Tarbert where we swapped tales of our courses with friends.  The Blip is a marker at one end of a very old road to Tarbert that is now a long distance path.  The extra shows the new road and a bit of not so old road that makes useful laybys . You can see low cloud that caused Mr P so much trouble on his course today. What a contrast to yesterday's  weather. 

If you're interested the English on the stone says -
THE HARRIS WALKWAY 
Maraig - Urgha 
Follow the old road to  Tarbert among the plants and wildlife of the moor  into the lush glen of the Lacasdail Lochs - or more  experienced hill-walkers  could take a detour  through Reinigeadal  - Time 1 1/2 - 2 Hrs .
I'll not bother with the Gaelic.
