A lovely hill positioned by the glacial overflow channel. I tried to do a direct line from Creag nan Adhaircean but failed. I ended up by the tarn of Lochan na Doire-uaine and having to clamber over boulders. Pleasant going east until the boggy ground of Allt an t-Sluic was reached.Alan Moore13/01/2023
5th of 5 Dodds from 636876, then followed the Ardverikie power lines down to the Allt An't Sluic Lodge track and back up the main road to the car.NormanW29/08/2021
We descended almost due North from Creag nan Adhaircean via steep, interesting, deer trod. Fine rocky surroundings.Tony S25/06/2021
From Creag nan Adhaircean - not wanting to walk right round Lochan na Dorie-uaine, I descended NW towards head of lochan. Found a very obvious superb deer trod part way up the steep sided cliff edge to head of lochan and dam head. Crossed via large boulders and soon found another excellent trod up the NW banking, thereby avoiding nasty stones along the lochan edge. Magic!carole engel24/09/2020
