A good short easy walk on a nide day with not much time. Not the most exciting hills but you get good views on a good day.
However, it is not easy to cross river at point marked on this route. We reversed the route looking for a crossing for the return as we walked towards Ben U. In the end we crossed over just east of point 8 on the route given. So watch out for the river crossing and remember you also have to cross the railway.
Alteranitvely go Over the Sow as well and cross lower down.

I guess we chose this walk because the conditions were foul - steady rain, freezing sleet at summit level, and strong winds. Snow above 750m. Can't comment on Udlamain because we wimped out and returned down the Allt Coire Dhomhain, but just to say that it did take us about four goes to get over the stream early in the day, as there's a lack of boulders to hop, and the thing was well above boot height, flowing in a deep gully. Don't take my star rating too seriously, it was mainly the weather!
