NTS staff have now started installing the temporary footbridge at Derry Lodge, a valued link in the Lairig Ghru and for access to a number of Cairngorm Munros. My pal reckons a couple of days should see the work finished, but he and his mates were able to cross there today.

The installation of both the interim bridge at Derry, and the eventual full-scale replacement bridge, are being substantially supported by the Scottish Rights of Way & Access Society, as a practical memorial to Donald Bennet, lifelong mountaineer and godfather to many of the SMC's hill-walking guidebooks, including the Munros & Corbetts guides. Details at http://www.scotways.com/news/442-donald-bennet-memorial-appeal . All contributions will be put to very good use in securing this key crossing for the future !

Hi Bob, I'd mentioned that earlier in my blog - along with links for donations. https://cairngormwanderer.wordpress.com/2015/04/12/new-bridge-imminent-at-d...
Wish ScotWays every success with this.

Footbridge at Derry Lodge is now complete. Time to put the willies on ebay.

Good news about the bridge Neil, but not sure that ebay allows that kind of listing.

Oh shit. I suppose it's too late to claim late-night typo, and the 'i' isn't even anywhere near the 'e'. I'll just slink off now...
