Start on the wide path through the low walls of the interpretation area, through a gate and across the road. After a short moorland crossing the path enters the fenced-in area. The main path heads uphill to left of the Edramucky Burn, but take the Nature Trail that turns off right to a footbridge. It heads up in the stream valley, recrossing it twice. At 540m level it rejoins the main path.

Descending by Edramucky Burn towards Loch Tay and distant Ben More

Turn left, to cross the burn, and where the path turns downhill, take the small old path uphill. Ignore a ladder stile over on the left. The old path ahead runs up to left of the stream, in places a soggy trench.

With the plantation fence (and another ladder stile) ahead, turn off right to cross a stream. Remains of old shielings are above the second stream branch, which you also cross to rejoin the well-made main path. Just ahead is where it leaves the enclosure at a gate.

Coire Odhar option

From the gate at the enclosure top, one might like to continue to the col at the head of Coire Odhar. There and back from the enclosure gate is 3.5km with 250m of ascent (2 miles/800ft) – about 1½hr. See ssss1.
