Highlander:
Are well you missed the sun then it poped out for a bit!  :lol:

karloss:
Bad news I'm afraid. The pass has been rather permenantly closed. Concrete and steel post type of closed. At the fort augustus end. Not sure if this is a legal closure but it's certainly an official one. Anyway, on a brighter note, I've met a local guy who's into the whole outdoor scene. He knows loads of legally drivable places, and the land owners. :lol:  T'old lass should be joining us at the begining of Jan now. Was hoping she would be here some time since but the best laid plans and all that #-o . Also aquired another landy but thats a story for another time!  So all being well begining of the new year should see some off road shenanigans. 8)  Keep you posted.

Lostboy:
I was up at the Corrieyairack a couple of months ago - the closure at the Fort Augustus end is 'under debate' as one official put it - the lawyers can't decide if it is legal or not (but get paid a lot of money to argue over it no doubt)

Pete.

the last thing i heared through the long grape vine was it was illegally closed by the adjacent landowner,who i beleive no longer resides there,"he" blocked it 2 stop drivers using the route & as scottish hydo board neet 2 access the to p o the hill he let then go through his land so there was no need for the road 2 be repaired,long story cut very short,

Xtremeteam:
whilst im here,as far as im aware there are NO other legal lanes/byways in scotland,just the corryaireck pass,the law is slighly different up here,best person to speak 2 would be sandy young who is the green road run organiser for the slroc,most of the runs take place on private tracks with permission from land owners,scottish hydro board etc,iff u wish ill try n find a contact NO for him.
