1 x verge parking at NH373072. GWMR towards Culachy House. Just beyond, at narrow bifurcation, take L fork for comms mast track (unmapped R fork goes to W side of hill - but a tame veg corridor can be followed below the big power lines, S, to get back to the comms mast track at Knollbuck).Isbjorn09/03/2022
Verge parking at NH373072 near end of signposted Corrieyairick Pass footpath, then followed mast access track to top. Back via high line of ridge to the NE top, then downhill to track again. Great viewpoints.willyross08/02/2021
2 of 2: From the NE Top. Note: the power line m/way has now been ploughed up. With Karen.ChrisR11/07/2020
Parked on the edge of the minor road off the A82, near the signed track for General Wade's Military Road, and the Corrieyairack Pass. Followed the track to the mast. Pleasant walk and good views from the summit. Returned over the NE top.LizH30/12/2019
Parked at cemetery and then via River Tarff, Wades Road, Beauly-Denny access 'motorway' and finally Telecoms mast access track. Summit could be any one of two or three heathery bumps within a couple of hundred yards of the mast compound. An engineers dream but also a fine viewpoint if you can ignore the telecoms and electricity infrastructure!benalder28423/02/2019

From nnw, Wade Road then comms track with hp outcrop in heather just beyond. Ground to N, just N of comms compound, is lower. After dinner, cold wind a contrast to this afternoon's heat.RHW04/05/2017
