I took the access road up to the aerial compound. From there it was a very rough walk south and then east over a series of minor tops to reach the summit, with its trig point. There were no paths, and tussocks, pools, bogs and peat hags to tackle. Hard going! My return was by my outward route, with a diversion to the shores of Loch Meall a'Bhainne. I then walked north to our cottage in Aultgrisham along the road. A strong north-easterly wind, with sea haar. Solo.
A place one could easily get lost in when the mist is down. GPS very useful.
