How to get to the meeting point
The rendezvous point for booked trips is at the south, or Aros, end of the Loch Frisa track. (OS Grid Reference NM 5440 4585). It is 1 km up the track from the Lettermore junction of Loch Frisa forest track and the A848 Tobermory to Salen road.

Signs will direct you from the end of the road, and a ranger will meet you at the rendezvous point and escort you to the hide. This will involve driving your own vehicle to a site via a locked gate along a forest track at your own risk.
- There is no vehicular access from the north end where there is a locked gate, however, walkers or cyclists on the forestry track are welcome to call in at the hide if a trip is on
- Wildlife law advisory notices and nest area protection measures are in place.
