Return along the approach track for 2.5km to the track junction above Badvaim/Batavaime. Descend the winding track all the way if you wish or else, directly above Badvaim, keep directly downhill with deer fence on your left. Head down to right of the stream to an old gate and Badvaim hut. Its access track reaches the valley floor past farm sheds.

A smooth track runs down the valley to left of the river, to the road corner near Kenknock. Continue ahead along the road to the car park.

The tough bits of Perthshire hills are the bottoms. Below the 600m mark the tussocks are lumpy and the heather is high. So it makes sense to seek out walks where ready-made Landrover tracks take you up through this less likeable ground, onto the grass and gravel of the heights. It’s a bonus when those tracks also give you a few miles of sheltered riverside rambling on the way in.
