Feshie
Access
to the lower gorge is being taken at Lagganlia Outdoor Centre,
as per the information being given in the SCA Whitewater guide.
However there is only limited parking at the Centre and occasionally
insensitive parking has made it difficult for turning coaches,
with a consequent child protection issue. Lagganlia do not want
to be obstructive, but nor do they want you to be obstructive
so please check in with Reception at the Centre if you intend
to leave a car there! Alternatively from Feshie Bridge, you can
walk up the track on the west side of the river for a few hundred
metres, and drop down through a recently cleared area to reach
the river at the top of the gorge section. This brings you out
on the opposite side of the road to Lagganlia access point. Please
remember to use the car park 100m below the bridge as your get
out point - cars on either side of the bridge obstruct what is
already a hazardous and narrow bit of road and are frustrating
for local residents.
November
2004: The
latest storms have caused a lot of tree damage on the
upper Feshie. The river has now re-routed
itself through trees after the bank has washed away and
the old channel was blocked by
trees and roots fallen in the same incident. It is only
just passable in very low
flows and extreme care should be taken.
It is
approx 2 km above Lagganlia.
