Bike to just beyond Cadubh, up easy hillside, and no major obstacles.iangalbraith20/03/2022
Far too cold for cycling to be a pleasant experience, so I walked up to Cadubh along lovely Loch Achall, after parking at the gate below the first quarry. Cheeky use of comfy bench for elevenses, then up the ATV track which starts E of the barn, takes you up to a flat area, then off piste roughly following the W side of the burn from the lochan, then head NW above the rock band up to another shelf and then onto the summit ridge. Decent going most of the way, some steep ground. Fine walk in a beautiful area.Gill01/12/2021
Cycled up from Ullapool to Cadubh, then up to summit and back down before carrying on by bike further up the Glen to bag Cnoc Damh.Total trip 42k.NormanW13/05/2021

Cycled from just above Ullapool as far as Cadubh, then directly up and down before cycling on past East Rhidorroch towards Cnoc Damh.Topographer5701/09/2017
My last Scottish mainland Marilyn! Drove up private road a few hundred metres and parked by gate. Nice cycle along to East Rhidorroch where I left bike and walked up stony track leading to Cnoc Damh. From it's summit took direct line to Meall Liath Choire and back down to bike. Ground beginning to dry out giving mostly easy walking. Fortunately no stalking today.Bit hazy but still stunning views across to Coigach peaks.AndrewFinnimore22/07/2017
From Cnoc Damh. Receding summit. Very dry and good going. Could be very different if the terrain was wet. Three Tumps on way back. Majestic views to the west.Campbell Singer17/05/2017
The day after being turned back from the Glen because of stalking- mid July! we came back and drove to East Rhidorroch lodge having negotiated access on being asked to change our plan. Followed the track then the offturn stalkers path before bearing off at 300m on the direct ridge to Cnoc Damph. Therafer an almost direct line to Meall Liath Coire before descending to the track and van 1km short of parking spot by the lodge.nordicstar29/07/2016
