FBM on north side of road between muddy ditch and a wire fence hiding behind a rhododendron bush. There is a wee patch you can cross the ditch easily very close to the FBM

Best part of today was spent covering the distance between Meanach bothy and the Corran Ferry. The FBM being the only triggy highlight, though there were some super views into the hills as things brightened up considerably into the early evening.

Initially my GPS pointed over the wall into the garden on the opposite side of the road, but this must have been due to loss of accuracy having kept it on in the car from TP0564. On restarting it, the FBM was easily found, no problems with knotweeed.

18/8/2004 Japenese Knotweed, bogs and other jungle makes this a candidate for a winter visit.. Continuing heavy rain.. Just got through Glen Ogle before the road was blocked.. Glad I did not bother with Crianlarich and Bridge of Orchy today. 12/4/2005 The key was the Japenese Knotweed. Called in on spec , knowing thatit had been found and first looked where the weed jungle had been last time. Easily visible by the roadside. mossy, hight tag missing.

Loch Leven Where it is - look carefully.

Not too bad to find once vegetation has died back. Instructions for summer visit - from gate on north side of B863 go east for about 20 metres to stile; from stile a further 5 steps takes you to it. Note its between fence and road. Poor quality of photos owing to low light levels.

Raining, ground boggy and it looks like it might be in roadside (lots of greenery) rather than over fence. I will aim to revisit in winter but hope someone else finds it before then.
