The path and fence remnants cross a damp col, before rising to the mildly rocky top of Carn Chois. This has a trig point. Continue 300 metres to a cairn. Now descend south, close to the drops on the left, on a small grass path. A fence is crossing the ridge ahead. Before you get to it, the small path turns down left, to descend rather steeply into a grassy corrie.

The path goes through a gate in a lower fence (NN799271). Then it slants down to the right, crossing a small stream, to the start of a rough track above the reservoir. This track leads to the end of the dam, which you cross to regain the car park.
