	Forsinard to Altnabreac
		Perhaps the most telling moment of the walk is reached when you cross the old county boundary from Sutherland into Caithness; marked boldly enough on the map, it adheres to no feature whatsoever on the ground as you are confronted with an unbroken sea of featureless heather.
		Most roads like this in Caithness and northeast Sutherland at least have the odd cottage every half mile or so, but this particular stretch of Strath Halladale is empty.
		The most obvious of these is the cone of Morven, elevation 705 meters and the highest mountain east of the Kildonan - Halladale trough.

	HISTORY
		It has been said that, viewed from the top of Morven, Caithness appears to consist more of water than of land and it was certainly the case that the newcomers found a bountiful place as far as angling was concerned.
		Local anglers, many of whom found employment at Dounreay, joined the club at the start and no doubt expressed their concerns to the newcomers about the added the added pressure on the fishing and it was generally agreed that the lochs would benefit from a moderate stocking programme.
		The biggest loch in Caithness and, being the source of the county's water supply, is subject to a wide variation in level.
