Summary: A short circular walk to the old reservoir behind Foyers. A steep section up through the trees, and care needs to be taken when heading downhill back to the farm track at Glenlia.
Distance & Grade: 2.4km. Easy/Moderate.
Description: Start at the car park at Foyers Stores and take the main road towards Inverfarigaig. Turn right up towards the Primary School and follow the hill route to Inverfarigaig and Boleskine. At the gate, take the small track heading uphill. Just after two old tree stumps, take the route to the right, not uphill to the left.
Soon you will see the marker posts, this section can be boggy. Follow these uphill and then along the side of the reservoir. At the end of the reservoir, there is another marker post with a path leading to the left. Don’t take this immediately but follow the path you are on round to a large rock. If you are lucky and it is a still day, there will be wonderful reflections of the trees on the opposite bank in the water.
Retrace your steps and take the track at the marker post down through the trees where you will meet a vehicular track. Turn right here and follow this back towards Foyers, keeping left at the houses at Glen Liath. At the main road beside the play park, turn right and return to the car park.
