Cross the A923 and head up the track to Tullybaccart Farm
Follow the route round the right hand side of the Farm
rising gently to a gate behind the steading. Go through

Continue on the main Forest Track for aprox 1 mile you will
be approaching Ledcrieff Loch

just before you reach the Loch turn left onto the
Forest Track ( it usually has a bar accross it )
follow this track steadily climbing and vearing right

after aprox 1 mile you will see a Communications Pylon
with Satalite Dishes on it,thats your target

eventually you will arrive at it and have a well deserved rest
enjoying the Panoramic Views

you are now right on the shear edge of the Crags,take care
cross the fence so you are walking with the shear drop on your LEFT
and the boundery fence on your RIGHT

parts of this decent is steep take care especially in the wet
keep going up & down on the narrow path until you come to a fence in front of you
barring your way,at this point look for the new gate in the right hand fence

go through a short climb there is a lot of forestry work here
but they have made a new path that winds its way down to Ledcrieff Loch
on a good day this is a quiet place for a rest

you can go accross the dam at one end or walk right round the Loch
either way you will end up at the Forest track with the bar accross it
on your right hand side

dont go that way but go straight on you are now retracing
the first part of the walk back to the car park
