Follow the same route for the first stage up Pucks Glen until the forestry track at the top, cross over and follow the path further up the hill alongside the burn until you come out onto the open hill. From there navigate cross country until you come to the forestry above Loch Long then pick up the forestry track to take you down to Gairletter point. In bad weather or poor visibility you will have to navigate the open hill stage. In the past walkers have got lost on this stage due to poor navigation and lack of navigational skills.
