Cycle from Gualin House. Left bike 7km in. Walk over Cnoc Mhadaidh on way to Ganu Mor.	John Lee	08/09/2021
Parked near Gualin House. Great walk to Cnoc Duail (up gully on N side following faint deer track) and Cnoc a' Mhadaidh. Very good views of the E side of Foinaven.	PGCE	07/05/2021
From Ceann Garbh and then down the east shoulder to the estate road. Probably nicer up than down.	Alan Moore	16/05/2018
From just N of Gualin House, accessing hills via Strath Dionard track. Excellent slabs climbing Cnoc a'Mhadaidh, then steeply to Ceann Garbh, andf ridge to Ganu Mor and A'Cheir Ghorm, returning along the ridge (cloud covered as ascended, but partial clearance at one stage providing fantastic views). Descended by same route except bypassed Cnoc a'Mhadaidh to SE.	RobertP	07/07/2017
Some great slabs on the way up from Strath Dionard	alda	18/05/2017
