Parked at Camas-luinie, no Winter Sun (NG947282). Start of FP to Dornie is hard to find until a green finger post with text on the reverse side. After gate in fence, FP soon fades into horrendous, trackless, steep, deep, veg, big holes and saplings until it meets FP from NNE. Good FP (ribbon of ice) to bealach at NG931263, then exhausting crashing through frozen veg, some relief provided by a few firm snow patches, to Carn Bad a Chreamha. More post-holing veg to Boc Mor. Both have substantial cairns. ENE along new deer fence (ignore faint ATV tk which meanders aimlessly) back to bealach. Returned down same good FP to a demolished cairn at NG939281, but still no sign of FP down to Camas-luinie – it’s long gone, overgrown and planted over.Isbjorn09/01/2024

Coire Dhuinnid sheepfold circular. Approached from summit of track (very good until it swings N out of the main glen).Smudge14/05/2019
Hitched up road from Shiel Bridge then along track then path and finally pathless but easy going up Cairn Bad a'Chreamha continuing in cloud Boc Mor where top was a bit fiddly to find in cloud but otherwise straightforward and easily back to roasd and with another hitched lift who turned out to be the guy who had picked me up in the morning.dickscroop08/12/2018
