This was done as part of the two munros in the area Mayar then on to Dreish Via the Kilbo Path. The desent was done by the use of a Mag bearing and map heading east to the Corrie of Farchal care must be taken on the desent on this route. An enjoyable day and with fine weather. One not to be missed.
