Revisited as lost all camera photos due to hard-disk failure. Once again worth the slog. Came up via Achilty estate. Excellent walk and weather held out for me.

Trigpoint once again.

Headed up to the Luichart Dam where there is plenty of parking. Walked across the dam and discovered a new track which leads onto the marked track by Glenmarksie. Followed this up the glen to the stone sheep fold and then headed straight up the hill directly to the trig. Trig in good condition with centre cap and raised letters. No FB. Extensive views all round but didn't hang about as squally showers were coming in. With Nozzer.

Good walk up from Glenmarksie, plenty of frost so provided easy footing rather than sinking in the bogs & heather. Spotted the giant satellite dish from miles back. Not sure what those particular ones are used for, see pics. Trig in good condition, intact but no flush bracket. Fantastic views all round, especially with all the snow on top.
