Compare this photo with one taken by John Ferguson less than a deacde ago NN8495 : Allt Garbhlach joins the River Feshie. Floods soon after that picture was taken have caused the Feshie to abandon its former course over the now dry cobble banks on the left of this photo, and cut a deep scar into the hillside, transporting a huge amount of material away downstream. The tributary entering from river right at this point, the Allt Garbhlach, has also cut down and had its bed load shifted away by the Feshie. What was once an easy path ford at this point, with a not too steep climb up the far side, is now rather hazardously steep and loose on both sides of the stream, part of the path among the trees opposite having been removed completely. Although we managed to cross here on our way up Glen Feshie, we chose to find an easier crossing upstream three or four hundred metres to the east on our way back.
