From Butterbridge by bike to 250130, then a round of 5 hills including Maol Breac SE Top, a Dodd. Poor visibility all day.NormanW02/04/2023
Parked at entrance to Glen Fyne. Track to near reservoir dam, then over Maol Breac (cairn and rock), Maol Meadhonach, Meall Beag and Binnein an Fhidhleir. Direct descent to car (easy enough except for penultimate enclosure - best to keep left near trees to avoid bracken and brambles).PGCE17/09/2022
Across from Maol Meadhonach, on short heather, grass and rock. Surprisingly pleasant walking interspersed with little lochans. On to SE Top.LizH23/03/2022
Biked in in thick mist past the brewery to foot of brae leading to reservoir. Stupendous day for temperature inversion rising clear of clag further up the road. From Maol Breac to its SE top in warm sunshine but next leg directly to Maol Meadhonach involved disappearing into mist. Once trig reached continued in sunshine to MM NW top and bike.lordtonult19/12/2021
