Good track from Dalnavert to the bothy, then I lost the path for 1km up through plenty of heather and nice trees. Found it again on after I crossed the burn and it was well worth finding.alda10/08/2017
Biked in 3km from Glider station. Made mistake of crossing bridge from there rather then heading up overgrown track so lost some time at start before cutting up onto higher path. An environmental monitoring station at point where path joins ridge. Pathless from there but easy going to Argyle Stone and summit From there South east to Creag Mhigeachadh. Mainly good going some tussocky stuff. The two stalkers paths heading SW - NE are long disused and fading away.dickscroop11/10/2014
