Parked on the Glen Clunie road, at the forestry by the mouth of the Baddoch, and ran through the glen to the south of Creag nan Gabhar, then cut directly to the top of the loch. Cold, with snow showers and some wind. Everyone looked cheerful here, because they thought the sun would come out for the run on the Loch Kandar. No such luck.

Parked at end of Glen Callater and cycled to this point leaving the bikes here to continue on to point 24

Thanks for the route notes - they helped.
Coming from 21 there appears to be a path at NO 171 838. We could see a path starting back up towards us from the Lodge but couldn't see the promised shortcut. Even if it had been there, its very heathery and the biking back down to the ford was great fun. Ford the river again however.
Nice track back up to the Lodge and onto the south side of the loch, easily bikeable round to the head of the loch where one of the bridges has just been replaced. Unfortunately the main river isn't bridged (being fordable by vehicle) and you'll be back in the water again if you want to reach Jock's Road.
Left the bikes here.

Ran in up Glen Callater. Easy run but it would be even easier on a bike. After the lodge the path on the north side of the loch is probably a bit easier to run, but the opposite is true for biking. Went on to Loch Kander.
