3 of 3: From Sgorach Mor. We turned down too soon after P453 and failed to spot the blue post. However we found the track at the forest edge at 1213:8505. With Karen.ChrisR08/06/2023
An Creachan, Sgorach Mor, Creag a' Chanuill, Meall an Fhamhair. From parking area by Strath Eachaig road opposite track to Corarsik. Followed track past Corarsik, turning into pleasant grassy path to top of forestry and then some steep ground to reach An Creachan. Easy walking along the tops. Descent from Meall an Fhamhair NE through forestry close to line of stream and not too bad most of the way.RobertP16/05/2023
Took Hughs book route. Boggy section was not too boggy, didn't find old bird hide but found good fairly obvious,path off to left through trees, that led straight up to open land. Followed around to An Cruachan where signs with red arrows on white discs lead over 453pt down to a blue post on edge of forest at about 328m. Turned right here into forest and track starts at right hand end (not on OS maps app 1:25000). Follow this good track all the way, until it eventually meets mapped track out to Corarsik. 8.1 miles. Nice circuit.JulieB19/04/2023
Parked opposite the track end at NS1395 8447. Took the track to Corarsik, turned right and followed the forest track which goes beyond that on the map and becomes a pleasant grassy/mossy track through the woods. Left this track at the forest edge at NS11960 85811. Steep ascent on grass and heather to the 454pt, where red waymarkers, including painted arrows on rocks!, lead to the summit. On return followed the waymarkers towards Am Binnein, where a final blue marked post seems to end the waymarking. A vehicle track enters the forest at NS12147 85093, and although this didn't look encouraging at first, it links with the marked forest tracks and back to Corarsik. A pleasant walk on a good day.LizH13/11/2021
