Name brain freeze, as it was found at end of season and was very cold jumping in.  2 Rappels. See photos, length 25m written may be a bit off. Need to go back & measure, but a 60m is more than enough.

Description

Turn off A830 onto A861, take first left at houses and Mowi building. Theres a pull in on the left or find place to park discretely. To avoid walking down the road which says private next to river ailort , you can walk south towards the houses then a left turn follows a straight path behind the mowi building. Follow the path and either go with the faint path up over small saddle. Or continue on the 4x4 track, turn right at T junction and then at small building the path goes up the hillside. Climb up and path leads round to man made weir. Start here. Get out is where river flattens and youll see the small building again on river left. Way back then as approach.
