With Tony J whilst travelling across to the RHSoc gathering over in Aultbea. Decent walk up a very fine hill even if the prevailing winds were unabating and fierce for the whole duration.

Overall approach from southwest. Parked in large layby on south side of A832 at NH 23906 61288. A good track leaves the north side of the A832 at NH 24219 61393. This track only appears on some maps. Once over the locked deer gate this track leads up through the woods joining what was a mapped path and continues onto the open deer moor until NH 24196 62510 (~312m height). After the track ends, it is a straight-forward route upwards of around 2km northeast across heather and occasional bogs until the summit is reached. Standard Hotine triangulation pillar. The column trunk has sustained damage below the flush bracket, otherwise is still in reasonable condition. Spider retains original OS centre cap with deep indented letters. Flush bracket faces northwest, compass measurement 300°. Vented through front and right sight holes. Full 360° panoramic view from top.

Up from Loch Fannich in cold weather with snow showers. Very good views, especially of the big Fannich hills and the loch. There is a hole in the concrete below the fb.

Slight damage below FB. Metal cap, deep letters. Nice rocky summit, fine view. S top of Carn na Beiste to the E, has an unmapped Hydro Board pillar (presumably for Fannich Dam and resr, which it has an excellent view of). 2nd visit: was here in 28/6/02 - was my 1500th Marilyn.

stalkers' path through forest, then a crossing of the moor on compass. no cairn. nearby rocks obviously higher than bench plate.
