Crossing Baddock Burn

Loch Vrotachan

Carn Aosda

Loch Vrotachan and Fishing Hut

A moderate hill walk the long way round to Carn Aosda. We  started at the Baddock and crossed  the Baddock burn over an unmarked bridge to make the ascent to Loch Vrotachan where we stopped and had lunch at the fishing hut at the eastern corner of the Loch then onwards and upwards to Carn Aosda.After another stop to admire the views we descended along the ridge back to the Baddoch. The weather was good and although the ascent to Loch Vrotachan was on a compass course the going was dry and didn't present any problems.The marks of old settlements along the Baddock Burn could be seen more clearly from the ridge leading to Strone Baddoch and will be the subject of my attention the next time we return to the area.
