Mountain Description
|
|
|
Tom Buidhe is a gently rounded summit on a high moorland plateau. The mountain has only gentle slopes but to the S lie the cliffs of Canness Glen, to the N the steep rocky slopes into Glen Callater and to the SE, Glen Doll is also flanked by steep and rocky slopes. Access to Tom Buidhe is normally from Glen Doll to the SE by the path known as "Jocks Road" or from Carn a Claise at the W limit of the plateau.

OK - not the most exciting Munro going but if you are doing a round it's a great walk once you're on the plateau if the weather is good.

6 in a day! Started at the car park at the Glen Doll reserve, traversed up Jocks Road and climbed Tolmount, then onto Carn An Turic, Carn of Claise and finally Tom Buidhe. Sat at the cairn on Buidhe deciding what to do next an dmade the decision to avoid Jocks Road going
back and traversed across to Mayar and finally Dreish. Absoluteky exhausted after the decent back to the car park but buzzing with satisfaction. Great day with my mate Steve, although weather was great there is little to make me want to go back, nothing technical here....except trying to find the unassuming 6 bumps.
