"Not the usual way up remote Sgurr Mor, a big day however you do it. A good route if you enjoy the cycling, plus you get spared driving the Strathan road switchback and take full advantage of excellent old stalkers paths and bridges over all rivers.

Parked at Poulary NH133014 2km west of Tomdoun (just room for a car or two where the forestry road begins). Cycled up isolated Glen Kingie switching to foot at path junction NN008963. ***DO NOT miss the left turn off downhill to Lochan ruin where you must swap off great forestry trails on to a deteriorating track*** I bimbled straight on in someone else’s cycle tracks, eventually getting dumped pathless in a forest swamp. Oops! To regain track I just managed to ride/slide a boggy forest fire break downhill under gravity over very rough steep extreme ground.
Plumped to walk clockwise; no rush to get to height today..." — davidb • Aug 28, 2020
"Climbed on a traverse of the ridge to Sgurr Mor, after a night in the Kinbreack Bothy in Glen Kingie. Sunshine, rain, sleet, snow and then sunshine again. With JK, KM and NP. " — marktrengove2 • Feb 17, 2007
