| Beautiful area, but this was so hard. Parked Butterstone Village Hall. Over Riemore Hill, NT and Far NT. Descent SW to track past Lochan a Chait. ATV track on R through gate partway up Spurn Hill, then rough, deep heather to summit. Boggy, heathery ridge over Craig Wood SE Top to Craig Wood and a dyke and broken deer fence. On to Creag nam Mial, Meall Dubh, Creag Loigste, Benachally and Craigend Hill. 29km, 12 of which were over mainly knee deep heather, slippy with wet and patchy snow. So glad for every track. Precious few animal tracks. 29km, 850m climb 8:40. | Lynnebe | 13/02/2024 |

| A tour of most of the tops of Creag nam Mial. Some deer paths along the main ridge wall, otherwise pretty relentless heather. | sclater | 10/06/2022 |

| Bike from Butterstone along minor road then tracks. Popped up n doon the heathery Riemore Hill before parking up by the Laird's House at the north end of Loch Benachally to walk the humps and bumps to its north. Pretty rough terrain makes it a tiresome round, but deer tracks aid along sections. Started with the other two Riemore Hills then Spurn Hill, the Craig Woods, Creag nam Mial, Meall Dubh and Creag Loisgte. Time allowed for a ride back through Riechip to Craigend so that Benachally and Craigend Hill could be added to the day's hit list. About 5.5 hrs total. | summitter | 30/10/2020 |
