Camped overnight at the ruined farm house and explored the area | Pilotralph | 19/05/2023 |
From the Allanreid CP, along the Livet track to Suie then up the southern flank of Tor of Suie (heather) to its top. Eastwards to rejoin the track to the wind turbines and on to Cook's Cairn. Back down and over to Carn na Bruar, then SE to the lowest point of the col, taking a heather-free route down to the Kymah Burn, where a narrow FP leads downstream back to a footbridge below the cottage and onto the track we came in on. | summitter | 13/02/2023 |

Good parking NJ 269 326. Ford to SSE not as mapped - a little further west (NJ 27622 31412). Track up Crooked Stripe no longer exists but that up Burn of Altavallie is good. Retraced steps onto Corryhabbie Hill, Carn a'Bhodaich to pick up track at NJ 271 298 - more a deer trod than a track. Makeshift stile at NJ 27015 30905, from where NE to Shean Dhu. From here track is just very long grass | carole engel | 26/07/2022 |
