| With J on a sunny day with a decent breeze from near the Cluanie Inn. The usual route following the easy angled track to its high point then cross country to pt 540. Wandered along the broad ridge picking the best ground. Superb view from the summit of North Shiel ridge, some Affric peaks, particularly Nevis, the Aonachs & the Grey Corries. Ben Lomond appeared to visible in the far distance too. Heard & then saw golden plover on the descent which was to pt 540 and then aimed much lower on the track as per Owen B. Found a useful old stalkers path just underneath pt 540 which is difficult to spot from above or below. | NotReallyABagger | 12/06/2024 |

| With John from track by Cluanie Inn. Straight up the track to pt 436 and then crossed the bog and headed east until a direct line SE up to the summit area. Tapped both trig and cairn, stopped briefly for some photos and a snack/drink (freezing wind at the top did not encourage a long stay), then headed back down the same route.

| With Rhona, Heather, Struie & Hoy from track nr Cluanie Inn. Out & back. Aborted linear walk west to east over summit and sub summits because high deer gate at east end 214092 was locked and we had dogs. No way of sneaking them under the fence. Beware. So we had x2 cars and no need. | DampandDusty | 24/02/2023 |

| Usual route from parking east of Cluanie Inn, up the track to 435m asl then pathless east. On return saved about 1km by aiming for the bend on the road at the 390m contour. Mostly very dry underfoot after five days of high pressure, making for good progress. | Owen B | 26/08/2021 |
