To continue, head back to the bealach, then down a path on the other side. This takes you first down a steep scree gully before giving way to a slightly less steep path cutting diagonally down the hillside below crags. A final steep descent down the side of a small gully brings you onto the level by a small burn. Follow the burn to meet a path at the side of Fionn Loch, along which you go right.

The path, very boggy in places, runs the length of Fionn Loch, bending round the northwest end to pass between it and Loch Uidh na Ceardaich. You then double-back on yourself to walk down the other side of the loch. There is a great view back to Suilven here, with Fionn Loch in the foreground. When the path divides, take the right fork, happily cutting a corner to come to the River Kirkaig.

Follow the path down the River Kirkaig, detouring, if you have the energy, to see the beautiful Falls of Kirkaig. The path ends at a small road. Head left along it to reach the main single-track road by the parking area (086 193) (23km, 7hr).
