| A birthday walk starting within a 5 mile radius of home, from Glen Nochty. Up the Ladder, with a detour to Finlate Hill, on short heather except for the summit. On to Carn Mor, then along the ridge to Monadh an t-Sluichd Leith. ATV track heads down the ridge back to the landrover track along the Water of Nochty. Recommended on a hot day, because the multiple deep fords cool your feet. In any other weather, and especially if wet, an alternative return would be wiser. | Gill | 01/06/2020 |

| From track junction SW of Rhinstacks accessed via Firs Cottage. Low cloud pretty much all day made route finding an issue. Left turn above Rhinstacks not obvious but other otherwise an easy route to Moss Hill. Did not find the E-W path shown on map before Little Geal Charn but did find summit. Route on to Letterach not obvious in cloud and wandered around a bit. Did get there but actual summit not clear on a flat summit area. Continued past top until it started to descend and then picked up 'high' points on way back. Dropped west off 'ridge' too early, worked my way back to col NE of Dun Muir where I could see no evidence of the two cross paths shown on map - still in cloud. Not sure where I was I decided to call it a day and headed SE to pick up tracks. When I did and confirmed where I was I decided I still had time for three more tops so pushed on to Finlate Hill, The Socach, Dubh Breac Hill and N to the track back to the car. Despite cloud a pleasant enough day. | dickscroop | 22/08/2017 |
