Parked at end of forestry track and followed track before heading up the hillside. Tussocky ground. Came back via the firebreak in the trees and back onto the track. Views of Cruachan peaks & Loch Awe.

Followed the forestry track, then up through a fire break in the trees to this one, boggy in places. Fantastic views of the cruachan peaks from here directly looking across. And perfect views of Loch awe also.

Spectacular view on Cruachan ridge with a few bits of swirling thin cloud circling round its summits. Tar plugged cap. Condition wrongly stated as damaged. It's good in my Opinion

horizontal cracks / construction joints at 40% and 70% height; asphalt plug. Nice compact rock & grass summit. Unable to resist an open gate I drove in from 061234 and found myself 500m S of summit, although track was dodgy and I was lucky to find a turning space. Boggy heathery ride N then (yet another) brackeny climb.

Located on summit of Creag Thulach. Parked at the end of a forest track at NN 06120 23452. Followed the track north for about 1km. When the track turned east, I followed it for about 200 metres until I came to a fence that ran north. I followed the fence until I came to the northern edge of the forest. Climbed over another wire fence and through a gap in the dry stone wall and out onto the moor. Then I turned east and climbed the hill up to the trig point. The centre plug is missing from the top of the trig point and the hole has been filled with cement.
