Title: Forestry Car Park for Cmd arete
Post by: LMac27 on 23:07:26, 05/02/18
Hi all can somebody give me the coordinates for the forestry car park I've read about please which apparently knocks 2 hours off the trip. You go to the north face car park then carry on up Forestry tracks if this is still doable. Many thanks Lee

The normal parking...north face... for the path up to the Allt a Mhuilinn access to the Ben area is at the turn off at Torlundy for what I think you are asking about is accessed from close to the Skiing area base.
The only time that I have been up on the tracks through the forestry plantations was in a emergency services vehicle.  The gate needs a key to give access here.  Probably most road vehicles unless having an off-road capability would struggle I guess to get up here with snow on the ground.
