The bridge is NOT to be attempted at all especially in very heavy rain fall as was tried in Aug 30th 09 better to head for the nearest pub and have a few beers.

Note that the bridge at NG947181 is out of action. It can be crossed with a great deal of difficulty.
1. Ignore the signs saying not to use it.
2. Climb over the boarding at the end
3. Treat missing section of bridge as a wire rope bridge
Though it might be easier to find another route!

The allt a' Chruinn track is another good descent off the ridge. It is a little muddy to start with but improves lower down. The path is currently being repaired nr Ault a' chruinn but is still open (June 04). This route also has the advantage of finishing about ten muinutes away from an excellent refreshment stop.

The ascent track up to Bealach an Lapain begins at the absolute east end of the gap between plantations. The P marked on OS map is small with a height-measuring beam, ?for commercial vehicles. The main car park is in the middle of the gap, about 50 metres west from the start of the track. On ascent keep directly up the slope when you come to the top of the trees, there is a well-trodden track which contours above the trees from below Saileag which it is easy to follow then have to back-track.

I descended west ridge of Beinn Bhuidhe heading for col with Sgurr an t-Searraich thence SW to bridge. Got 'stuck' in large bog centred NG957186 half mile before col. Picked across it SW but couldn't make descent due to crags, contoured NW above them eventually descending from col direction but at first unpleasantly through knee-deep heather hiding boulders. Got within 20 metres of bridge but very soft bog amongst trees had me swinging from tree to tree looking for a way to the bridge. Cannot recommend this descent route, poor finish to a fabulous traverse.

I made a descent down the NW ridge of Sgurr Fuaran 20/04/02 in rain and, although the unrelenting slope was obviously tiring, it was fine with a good path. It provided a quick route down and it did not take long to find a shallow and fordable place for crossing the river.
