Anybody been over the Capel Mounth lately?

As above, I was hoping to head over to Loch Muick at some point in the near future, but the path from Glen Doll  was a real mess with logging last time I was there (about 3 years ago)

Not been over since last July (roughly), when I took a group over there, en route to Corrie Chash.

It was fine all the way down to the burn crossing.  Where the old trail used to then go into the trees for 200m or so, all of those trees were down, so we just took a direct line downhill until we hit the estate track.  The track heading up towards Broad Cairn/Pony Hut etc has been resurfaced, so now a pretty simple climb.

I think I was there about the same time as Gavin B and had forgotten about the logging. It’s only a small stretch at the bottom and even by that time a path through the brash had formed. It didn’t make much difference to our day.

Sorry, realised you’re looking to go the other way (from Glen Doll), but should still stand that you can get there ok now.

Yes, it’s fine. Northbound up the Capel, you simply need to go past the original entrance by the bridge and look for the rough path on your right, just outside the boundary of the original forest. It rejoins the traditional trail up by the big fenceposts, @200m away from the estate road.
