Easter means Scotland 
some of those likely to answer this know where we've toured up there before but for those that don't:
Half loaded tourer with tough tyres and fairly skilled mtb experienced pilots.
couple of paths i'm interested in, Moine Path (Ben Hope) and Bealach nam Meirlach (Strath More to Loch Merchland). need to know if these are passable and whether they are likely to be badly affected by rivers in spate or snow.
both are readily avoidable by road but we like to stick the odd offroad section in. Route is roughly Rogart to Tongue via Kinbrace then Tongue to Carbisdale by the above
thanks
