#4 of 4 from Lochan Daimh roadhead. Longish detour from Meall Buidhe. Back over the 744m col then nice grassy descent of Coire Pharlain. Last summit of a wonderfully varied 6 week spring Simms campaign. Now just 8 left with end of month completion in view.RHW06/06/2021

Finished a trip in the Braemar, Glen Shee area with a day to spare so drove over to pick up this newly made up Graham top. When seen from the ridge to the East it looks very prominent and difficult to miss but obviously IO also did when I did all the others in the area a couple of years ago. Straight up the track from Bridge of Gaur, opted to walk rather than bike, I think the right decision but not much in it,. Lifting over the deer fence gates would have been a hassle. then due west pathless After first ridge keeping slightly to the south offers better ground but not difficult anywhere two bumps on top, one with cairn looks the lower but only 10 metres apart so not an issue.dickscroop17/07/2020

With Rod via forest track from Bridge of Gaur. Pleasant surprise when joined by fellow bagger at the summit! Forecasted thunderstorms didn't materialise so paid Meall Buidhe a revisit afterwards.Lindsay M25/06/2020
