点评:This is a place that is crying put for dogs to be on leads or prohibited. I love dogs, but there are millions of other acres you have the right to roam with them.
The trail around the small loch is fine, but made put of the world's loudest gravel; and to either side the path is marked with carefully placed dog poo. Which I suppose keeps people on the path.
Signage is also remarkably poor. They have introduced parking charges. Which is fine, apart from you need an app and/or a mobile signal to pay. On a calm, clear evening, it took me a couple of tries with 1 bar of signal. Plus, you have to hunt around to find the number to call, because its not at the car park entrance. There are no machines and cash is not an option. The signs telling you about the £50 are prominent, however. As it stands, these charges are unenforceable as a result of the signage and barriers to payment. Which anyone of moderate intellect working for the forestry commission really ought to be able to figure out.
We also, incredibly stupidly - because tourists are stupid, right? - didn't know that the dirt road to the north visitor centre is chained off at night. This is because, stupidly, we didn't stop suddenly and get rear ended in order to decifer the pale brown on dark brown signage that didn't in any case warn us that our cars would be trapped in.
Happily, a rude little man doing a guided tour to some loud people told us. But he made a point of also telling us to read the signs, rudely.
We didn't see beavers. That's pot luck, but our odds in the hour at dusk we and some other people crouched silently by the shore, would have improved had the same tour guide not chosen a tree ten metres away as the ideal subject for a prolonged discussion about moss. And perhaps also the dog swimming wherever it wanted a few minutes before.
Urgh this is all so ignorantly British.
Look, by all means stop you are passing, but if you want to see wildlife such as beavers, go to Canada. And if you want to see Scotland's wildlife just go outside on your own, rather than in 10-strong wildlife exclusion zone.
翻译:这是一个哭泣的地方,让狗被牵着或被禁止。我喜欢狗,但还有数百万英亩的其他英亩土地,您有权与它们一起漫步。
小湖周围的步道还不错,但铺满了世界上最响亮的砾石;小路的两边都标有精心放置的狗屎。我想这会让人们走上正轨。
标牌也非常差。他们引入了停车费。这很好,除了你需要一个应用程序和/或一个移动信号来支付。在一个平静、晴朗的夜晚,我尝试了几次 1 格信号。另外,您必须四处寻找要拨打的号码,因为它不在停车场入口处。没有机器,现金不是一种选择。然而,告诉您 50 英镑的标志很显眼。目前,由于标牌和付款障碍,这些收费无法执行。任何为林业委员会工作的中等智力的人都应该能够弄清楚。
我们也非常愚蠢-因为游客很愚蠢,对吗? - 不知道通往北部游客中心的土路在晚上被封锁了。这是因为,愚蠢的是,我们没有突然停下来并被追尾,以便确定深棕色标牌上的浅棕色标牌,这些标牌在任何情况下都没有警告我们我们的车会被困在里面。
令人高兴的是,一个粗鲁的小个子男人正在为一些吵闹的人做导游告诉我们。但他还特意告诉我们要粗鲁地阅读这些标志。
我们没有看到海狸。这是运气,但如果同一位导游没有选择十米外的一棵树作为长时间讨论苔藓的理想主题,我们和其他一些静静蹲在岸边的人在黄昏时分的几率会有所提高。也许还有几分钟前那只狗游到它想去的地方。
呃,这都是英国人的无知。
看,一定要阻止你路过,但如果你想看到海狸等野生动物,那就去加拿大吧。如果您想看到苏格兰的野生动物,只需自己走出去,而不是在 10 强野生动物禁区内。
