Takeoff description

To reach the launch, walk back south along the road from the parking area towards the head of the Pass. About a hundred metres or so beyond a tiny roadside lochan on the left, break out right in a southerly direction, taking a direct line over rough rocky ground. After 700m a series of small lochs are reached. Skirt around these and then contour along the south west slopes of Meall Gorm until a suitable launch site is found. Although the terrain is strewn with rough Torridonian sandstone boulders and small outcrops, there are plenty of grassy areas affording good launching points.
