This descent is worth the steep ascent required to reach it. You will bike past Loch Orrin on the way, which is a part of a hydroelectric scheme, and keep your eyes peeled to spot the beautiful Orrin falls as you follow the river Eastwards.

Great departure from the Hydro Boothy into the valley. Great scenery. From the dam there is even asphalt.
