Scored with the weather, drove to Corriemulzie Lodge, have a VW Passat and road was fine if you take care.
Cycled to foot or mountain, very pleasant, took 1.15hrs, 45 mins on return route.
River crossing fine, but could see potential for problems if recent heavy rain.
SMC book stated 4.20hrs from Duag Bridge, took us 3.10hrs from the lodge at a leisurely pace in the May sunshine.
Look out for the mountain goats, very photogenic!! Most enjoyable hill!

A thoroughly enjoyable outing with a real sense of remoteness, with one feeling right in the wilderness. Eididh nan Clach Geala can be added comfortably climbing it by its eastern face.
