From Knockton following ATV track down to cattle grid at main road. Up track from road to mast and then quick hop across fence to reach cairn on the other side. Back down to roadside where I had left my bike so that I could free wheel the last 2 miles downhill back to Auchinleish where I had started from on round of Meall Mor, Cairn Gibbs and Knockton.Jossker24/06/2023
