At the end of the Gleann Dubh descent you'll need to ford Ardchyle Burn. It's best avoided after rainfall as the water levels can be raised to dangerous levels.

Dangerous the cross if there has been a lot of rainfall.
Alternative descent is to take grassy track on East of burn.

River Crossing is rideable. But could be dodgy if attempting during winter after a rainy period.
After this, you have a long climb ahead!!
