From the Waterhead carpark, then along mainly grouse terroriser tracks, with the occasional heathery diversion, to bag the Glansie Glen hills of Wester Hill, Earn Skelly, Ruragh, Hill of Glansie, Hill of Garbet, and Hill of Mondurran. Had to cross the Burn of Glansie to get back to the car, but relatively straightforward. 4.5 hrs total.summitter08/10/2022
