Corrieyairack Pass Route
'For a longer cross-country walk, based here in Newtonmore, the Corrieyairack has everything, from the gentle meanderings of the upper River Spey, through the pass itself amid high rolling moorland, and down by the side of Glen Tarff to the A82 near Fort Augustus.'
'Before starting the walk, however, there are two conditions to be met - physical fitness and organisational skills. First the fitness, for, although the walk is an old military road built by the notorious General Wade in the 18th century, the distance involved is some 14 miles with a climb of nearly 500m to the highest point at 770m. There the weather could be quite different from the more benign Spey Valley. Secondly, unless you wish to make it an epic day by returning to your car, alternative transport has to be available at the other end. Work out the drill well in advance.'
