Through field of highland cows intitially, followed forestry track to the back then followed a break in the trees to trig. Straightforward, I imagine great views but a dreich day. Trig in good condition, moss covered and protected by high grass.

From Cladich to west. From NN 11076 22106 to NN 11693 21841 is an old overgrown track. From NN 11770 21968 a rough deer trod leads up a break of bracken, heather and tussocks. Two sections of windthrow have been efficiently cut through (many thanks)

Followed the forestry track to behind this one. Then found a break in the trees on the os maps to find a route to the trigpoint. Got covered in ticks on this walk. Good views. Trig pillar covers with high grass and moss.

Top & side screed starting to lift; metal cap deep letters. Heather summit, fine view. Obvious track in from WSW then SW to trig: Sitka belt deeper than expected from my LR50, and dense. Clouds clearing off Cruachan - well seen from here.
