Parked in the biggish passing place at NO287947 and walked up the road to Khantore - straight on into the wood then onto the open moor (deer fence and gate in between - stile for humans, dog wriggled through the slats in the gate). Followed the landrover track round Tom Bad a'Mhonaidh to the east (the alternative over the top is much more vegetated) then over the burn and up until angling off at c450m for the heathery ascent of Meall Gorm. Heathery and trackless all the way over Inchnabobart and Craig Megen then some awkward boulders to negotiate before the sudden change to grass for the pull up to the Coyles of Muick - interesting top. Off on a track to the north then followed an ATV into the woods past a wee hut (worth finding is it wends through the wind throw) over another track and open trees to the rocky top of Craig of Loinmuie. Back through the trees and a very heathery rise to Meall Dubh. More heather over the 520m top and down to the burn at NO313921 which was a boulderStueyB03/10/2023
Despite a poor forecast, sunny and dry with high cloud and barely a breeze. Top seems to be close to fence corner post and a small marked stone.Kiltie19/07/2023

From Craig of Inchnabobart. 3/3. Grand views. Then back to Glen Muick cp.Campbell Singer09/05/2019
Good walk across the moors from North, new estate tracks etc in bitterly cold Westerly wind from Hump Sgor an h-Iolaire. No parking fees! Summit slopes burned of heather still. Good to get wind on back for return trip via Tump above Khantorenordicstar21/01/2019
Easy walking except for the gale force freezing wind. Better going back!jenx21/01/2019
Anyone know what A & B 28 on the stone means? I'm guessing Braemar - Aboyne 28 miles.summitter17/02/2018
On top there is a corner of a fence with a few stones on the corner, assumed that was the top. looked like highest pointtallblond21/11/2014
Paid my £3 for the privilege of parking at Loch Muick. Then along the landrover track to W of hill. Then through most burnt bit of heather to summit. W is obscured by Conachraig, but not a bad HuMP, as views to E and n are fine. 1,250th HuMP.Thearlaichdubh10/09/2014
