Cairn Toul, the Coire Dhondail path and the stride extender.

After heavy rain recently the water out of this stream ripped into the track surface and as I passed by some restorative work was on goin g. The area of the Roberts Ridge climb at the Northern end of the Sgoran ridges. The final part of the route ending with an a cheval to link the Robert's ridge with the short section to the summit of Sgoran dubh Beag. The path up into Coire Dhondail showing as a diagonal and the twin waterslides showing...image taken in a past age circa 1975. A fine wee four season tent at the start of the path up into the coire....the owner was not up and about when I passed. The path to the prior plateau area showing up left of the twin waterslides. Over the years a bit of rubble has slid into the path. The very useful cairn indicating the start of the path down into the Coire.  Sgor Gaoith and Sgoran dubh Mor and some of the ridges on the East side of the Hills. I seem to recall two cairns here when I last passed this
