Directions to Capenoch Loch Long Cairn
The path starts in a gateway opposite Barr Farm on the A702 between Moniaive and Penpont. The farmer has prohibited parking in this gateway. Due to this restriction an extension of 0.33 miles N to the nearest lay-by at NX 82877 92845 is necessary. A forest track heading NE starts opposite Barr Farm. Follow the track for c. 0.35 miles to reach a junction. Turn right then bear right after c. 80 yards. Follow the track SE for c. 0.3 mile to NX 8375 9244. Head N up a narrow forest ride for c. 100 yards. Capenoch Loch Long Cairn is c. 80 yards NE in the centre of a large clearing. My route can be viewed on Capenoch Loch Long Cairn.
Very sad that the landowner feels this way. I will assert again - in my opinion - it is possible to park a car WITH EASE and not obstruct the gateway.
I entirely agree with you. Its very disappointing.
Yeah, the overwhelming majority of Scottish farmers I've met seem to 'get' that a few moronic tourists obstructing gates is a part of life to be dealt with as and when; same as people blocking my gate. No need - or justification - to take out your frustrations upon the wider community and become a stereotype.
