East and West Meur Gorm Craig from Cock Bridge - solo. Parked up at Corgarff Castle and set off along the road beside the River Don. Tarmac road made for good progress (although plastered with sheep dung) - but just after Delnadamph, this turns into mud (instant slowdown). After that's the road becomes more of a track with quite a lot of ups and downs. At Inchrory, headed south to a bridge over the river and locked the bike up over where the track up the hill starts. Easy walking to the tops on a track that becomes a stalker's path. Walked past the E top to do the higher W top first, then came over the E top on the return, and also decided to tag in the named peak Meall Gaineimh. Returned to bike and back out the same route to Corgarff Castle. Total times - around an hour for the ride in, about 50mins for the ride out, and 3h on foot.	mproudfoot	19/11/2023
