From Kinloch up the stalkers' path - I went up the prow for a wee scramble (had to lift the dog up a couple of bits) but easily avoided to the right if wished. Easy rising traverse to the Meallan Liath ridge but getting to the NE top was quite tricky as the most obvious way down the cliffs wasn't obvious from above (its two heathery rakes on the left as you look down). The NE top is brilliant - lovely fins and ribs of rock. Back to the summit and along the ridge a bit before cutting down easily to the col NE of Dubh Loch na Creige Riabhach. Easy up to Creag Riabhach Mhor. Rather than head off north to the Moine Path we went east to the headwaters of the Allt na Craig Riabhach which we followed down to the landrover track. I'd hoped the banks might be grassy as they often are in peaty country - they're not and it was a bit of a boggy flog with the last bit of thigh deep tussock being particularly unpleasant but the ever expanding views of Ben Loyal and the Kyle of Tongue made up fStueyB06/11/2023
