From SW, parking for one at NH 8366 0298 on a quiet chilly morning. Good forest road then path and nice open forest to HPRHW11/10/2023
I went, as others, from the forest road, taking the path by the wall until near the top, when I took a direct line to the top.Alan Moore08/01/2023
3 of 3: After Creag Far-leitire we drove to the Feshiebridge CP at 849046. Yellow waymarks led across the road at the CP entrance and on to the forest road. We went south to it's HP at 84670:03502. A path goes alongside the old wall for 2 minutes. When it levels the old cairn is 2 minutes to the right. With Karen.ChrisR27/10/2022
Parked at Uath Lochan. By bike. Creag Far-leitire, Creag Dhubh and Insh Hill.CJM29/01/2022
Walked from car park NW of Feshiebridge187lenny14/11/2021
Good track to near the top.robertphillips27/08/2021
From car park at Feshiebridge. All a bit messy both with signage of yellow trail and clear felling on approach. Following a pleasant, lightly worn path alongside wall from forest road HP was key to ridge to HP, grassy understory made easy going (but ND date of asc). Following old tracks back (all shown on Cairngorms OL when it was OL3) led me through the clear-felled area; not so good.pwheeler02/05/2021
Waliked up forest track from B Road due N. Old bulldozer track from high point led up for the last 150 yards close to top.GordonAdshead04/11/2019
Walked in on track from the north. Able to find an old vehicle track to ascend and avoid wet bracken. Found cairn with mossy boulders and also the mapped crags which are very modest in size.JohnW13/07/2019
From NH848045. Utterly straightforward. And it's definitely a cairn on top when you look under the mossColin Crawford09/06/2018
Track from 837030.chrisbien07/04/2017
Parked by the pig at NH841043. Path ok but is easily lost after the pylons, so it may be better to approach from NH848045. Nice wood, fallen trees easily avoidable. I think the heavily vegetated boulder on the summit may be an old cairn.alda14/10/2016
Short walk away from singletrack to the west. No arboreal issues, runnable forest. The summit is a moss covered boulder, nearly 1m high. The orienteering map is very handy here.fasgadh08/10/2016
