there are two on here at the mo have read. i went in early dec towing a jet boat as far as the loch katrine with no problems. you could drive almost all the way by car if you choose your lines right. but i think the gate may still be up from there onwards.

from taylors to loch katrine lots of mud holes none too big
take the track down to the beach at two points if your in a hurry.
Locked gate a third along katrine. Farmer would not give me combo for the gate as said had rams out with the Ewes...

Mud holes are all hard bottomed if you stay on the track, I've towed a little jet boat in there a couple of months back all the way to loch Katrine with my bog std Isuzu Bighorn, no damage to vehicle, no bush scratching either.
I hate signatures
