Walked the track from N of Cruach Narrachan to NM 89932 15172 where an old track goes in across a felled and replanted area, only for a short distance. Over very rough ground after that before picking up another track at NM89714 15056 (this may come from further along the main track?), following to its end at NM89718 14944, then deer track along the forest edge, then steeply down to boggy ground NE of the summit, and finally over rough tussocky ground to the top. A bit of a rough epic of a day, but a super viewpoint!LizH08/09/2022
After Cruach Narrachan drove another mile then walked through fire-breaks to climb Cruach Maolachy. Another hill made harder by having to negotiate wind-blown trees and also very tussocky ground. Another superb viewpoint but quite windy on top. Sweaty,Kiltie22/04/2022
