From Inchnadamph. Conival North Top, Na Tuadhan, Beinn an Fhurain, Meall nan Caorach, Beinn Uidhe South Top, Beinn Uidhe, Cnoc an Droighinn.PGCE18/10/2020
Picking up odds and ends of tops but an interesting day nonetheless. From Inchnadamph followed stream straight up to ridge though I had a few doubts about exactly where I was when I got there - slightly south of were I expected. But then straightforward to Na Tuadhan (Ct)); on to Meall na Caoroch (Gt); Beinn Uidhe S top (Gt); and on to Beinn Uidhe (Gt). Dropped down to NW as ground looked easier and probably was.dickscroop03/08/2019
At the end of a superb traverse of Ben More Assynt, added these bumps on the end. small cairn on obvious rocky outcrop top rising from tussocky bog. Grave relates to WW2 aircrash.Denise 14/10/2018

Carried on across the plateau from Na Tuadhan. Very bouldery going. The hill itself is a very sharp knoll, off the main plateau. Very craggy sides overlooking Inchnadamph.fasgadh02/10/2010
