Bike up Gruinard River track to main bridge across river. Turned SW up valley between Cnoc na h-Earra and the crags to the south, easy way to reach the stalkers path. Stunning day and breathtaking viewsiangalbraith02/07/2021
On the way back from Chaisgein Mor. Straightforward. Then headed NNW to join the stalkers path, easily down to the headwaters of the Uisge Toll a Mhadaidh, Crossed to the east side of the stream early on, the ground seemed better and there were hints of a very rough path. Then the long, tiring walk back to the car at the outlet of the Inverianvie River. A long day but a good one. Didn't see a soul all day. Felt satisfyingly remote and some great views until the cloud lowered on the way back.Owen B27/08/2019
Circuit from bridge over River Gruinard. Crossed Allt Loch Ghuibhsachain and followed E bank, crossed after approx 1.5km then climbed to start of stalkers' path. Creag na Sgoine (alternative HuMP summit), Creag-mheall Mor, Creag-mheall Mor East Top (fine rocky top), Carn Lochan na Bearta (another fine top of bare rock), traverse to Frith-mheallan, then on to Beinn a' Chaisgein Beag. Descent E to cross stream and rejoin stalkers path for short distance. Climbed Creag-mheall Meadhonach (camped overnight just below summit), then Creag-mheall Meadhonach North Top, Creag-mheall Beag, Creag-mheall Beag North Top (unable to reach one of summit contentders in wet conditions), then Creag nam Bord to reach the track and return to start. Light rain for most of walk and clouds down low, even over lower tops, just clearing a little at the end of the route.RobertP12/07/2019
